Description
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.

About the Author
Born in Bessemer, Alabama in 1939, Jack Whitten is celebrated for his innovative processes of applying paint to the surface of his canvases and transfiguring their material terrains. Although Whitten initially aligned with the New York circle of abstract expressionists active in the 1960s, his work gradually distanced from the movement's aesthetic philosophy and formal concerns, focusing more intensely on the experimental aspects of process and technique that came to define his practice.
Yinka Elujoba is a Nigerian writer and editor, who works as an art critic for The New York Times. He lives in Brooklyn, New York. He was awarded the Rabkin Prize in 2021 and received the Andy Warhol Foundation Art Writers Grant in 2023.
