AVAILABILITY: Awaiting stock "In Los Angeles, Hammons first produced his well-received body prints, a format for which his early years as an artist are best known. To create these works, Hammons literally used his own body as a printing plate—coating his skin or the printing paper with margarine and then pressing his greased body onto the printing paper. Powdered pigment was then sprinkled onto these stains, which clung to the areas sticky with grease, thus revealing thee body's impression. The image was subsequently fixed with a fixative and sometimes embellished with silkscreened, drawn, or collaged elements. This method produced images that record the textures of skin, hair and textiles in surprising detail."—Tobias Wofford, excerpted from the chapter, Signifying Race in David Hammons' Spade Sereis. | | |
| | | TILTON GALLERYL.A. Object & David Hammons Body PrintsEdited by Connie Rogers Tilton, Lindsay Charlwood. Text by Steve Cannon, Dale Davis, Josine Ianco-Starrels, Kellie Jones, Yael Lipschutz, John Outterbridge, Greg Pitts, Betye Saar, Tobias Wofford.
 L.A. Object offers a historical overview of the Los Angeles assemblage movement of the 1960s and 70s. It focuses on works by primarily African-American artists often omitted from mainstream gallery and museum historical exhibitions who were working during the civil rights movement, the 1965 Watts riots and the era's general social and cultural upheaval: Ed Bereal, Wallace Berman, Nathaniel Bustion, Alonzo Davis, Dale Brockman Davis, Charles Dickson, Mel Edwards, David Hammons, Daniel La Rue Johnson, Ed Kienholz, Ron Miyashiro, Senga Nengudi, John Outterbridge, Noah Purifoy, Joe Ray, Betye Saar, Kenzi Shiokava and Timothy Washington. Central to this book are the unique body prints of David Hammons--ironic, often political commentaries relevant to the African-American experience that are presented for the first time within the context from which they arose. Also included are photographic contributions by Bruce Talamon and Harry Drinkwater.
Featured image is Boy With Flag, a 1968 body print by David Hammons. | D.A.P. CATALOG FALL 2011 p. 44 | Cory Reynolds | Date: 9/15/2011 In today's New York Observer, Andrew Russeth calls L.A. Object & David Hammons Body Prints, "a magisterial new volume on African-American artists in Los Angeles." He rightfully describes this 424-page, fully illustrated but scholarly volume as both a "beauty" and a "deeply unsettling read." Below is an excerpt of Russeth's glowing review:
