Overview

• An expected and great monograph published on occasion of the exhibition at the Guggenhiem Museum in Bilbao. • Lynette Yiadom-Boakye continues the tradition of the portrait of Western painting, but her work is also part of contemporary creation because it takes a political dimension and becomes a reference of Afro and queer aesthetics. • This book contains about 70 pictures that invite us to enter the visual stories imagined by the artist, fictional portraits whose protagonists are represented in moments of privacy and in an apparently plausible life. • Texts by Yiadom-Boakye herself, the writer and filmmaker Kodwo Eshun and the conservative of the museum curator Lekha Hileman Waitoller.

"Yiadom-Boakye's mysteriously handsome figures exist in an allegorically retroactive space--a present where works like these, and those of other leading black artists, can aspire to self-invent a visual canon.--Christian Viveros-Fauné ""Art Agency Partners: In Other Words"""
