After forever favoring predominantly white, male artists over almost anyone else, museums, galleries, and critics are finally waking up to the vast contribution made by Black artists. But how many Black artists can you name? And how many of them have received the recognition they deserve?Image and Belief brings together 100 significant artists from across the Black Diaspora and over 200 years of history. Discover the nineteenth-century enslaved potter whose work is only now breaking auction records, or the relatively unknown painters and sculptors who had their own take on the key movements of modern art. And who are the vital contemporary Black artists looking afresh at the imbalances of the past or picturing bold visions of the future? Alongside texts on each of these 100 artists are additional concise contributions from four leading curators and writers focusing on portraiture, film, photography, curating, and abstraction, each from a Black critic's perspective.Embrace a new perspective with this detailed history of Black artists, offering a fresh, alternative, and re-invigorating look at our visual culture. Written by two leading curators and writers, this is a guided exploration and celebration of evocative artwork from the past 200 years.

Portobello Road is London's most iconic street and a unique place to live and visit. Despite the waves of gentrification, soaring rents and the recent arrival of High Street chains, its Bohemian, anarchic, creative spirit still survives. Julian Mash, a former bookseller at the famous Travel Bookshop, meets the traders and shopkeepers, film-makers and fashionistas, punks, promoters and poets who make Portobello what it is. From his encounters with famous residents like Damon Albarn and life-long market traders like Peter Cain there emerges a vivid and sometimes surprising picture of one of Britain's most famous neighbourhoods.This fascinatingly illustrated book explores how Portobello Road has been at the centre of trends as diverse as racial integration, health food, vintage fashion, the property boom and the life and death of record shops.
