Faith Ringgold

Edited by Melissa Blanchflower, Natalia Grabowska, Melissa Larner. Text by Michelle Wallace. Interview by Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Faith Ringgold

An affordable introduction to the quilts, paintings and posters of Faith Ringgold, a preeminent chronicler of Black life in America

Famed for her narrative quilts and her brightly colored paintings of African American life, New York artist Faith Ringgold (born 1930) has consistently challenged perceptions of identity and gender inequality through the lenses of the feminist and the civil rights movements.

As cultural assumptions and prejudices persist, her work retains its contemporary resonance both for observers and for fellow artists inspired by her narrative mastery and her ability to give mythical power to scenes of everyday life.

Focusing on different series that she has created over the past 50 years, this monograph portrays the breadth of her work, including paintings, story quilts and political posters made during the Black Power movement. The book also includes an interview with the artist conducted by Hans Ulrich Obrist, as well as an essay written by the artist’s daughter, Michelle Wallace.

PRAISE AND REVIEWS

New York Times

Bob Morris

Every one of [Ringgold's] images tells a story, as often to uplift as critique and almost always in bright, bold and inviting ways.

Galerie

Lucy Rees

Taking inspiration in the quilts, paintings and political posters of Faith Ringgold

Titled "We Here Aunt Emmy Got Us Now," this 2010 quilt is reproduced from Faith Ringgold, a recent survey of paintings, political posters, tankas and story quilts published on the occasion of the artist's 2019 exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery—astonishingly, her first exhibition ever in a European institution. For Ringgold, "the political is personal and the personal is political," Hans Ulrich Obrist writes. In addition to an interview with Obrist, this book includes an essay by the artist’s daughter, Michelle Wallace. continue to blog
