Go behind the scenes of Jack Whitten’s groundbreaking work in this essential guide to his practice, one of the two inaugural volumes in a new series from Hauser & Wirth Publishers. In the Studio: Jack Whitten is an essential companion to the work of the pioneering African American artist, whose revolutionary approach to painting as a medium is widely considered to have changed the discipline. An elucidating new text by art critic Yínká Elújoba introduces Whitten’s pioneering practice—his relentless experimentation, unconventional tools and materials, and profoundly original oeuvre—while numerous archival images offer a uniquely intimate window into the artist’s process and inspirations. Covering Whitten’s entire six-decade career, In the Studio: Jack Whitten offers a comprehensive introduction to the artist’s life and work.
