Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?

Ideal for scholars, curators, museum professionals, and anyone interested in modern art, race in art, and critical studies of cultural institutions.

This expansive collection of essays on nearly 200 works in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art is the first substantial exploration of MoMA's uneven historical relationship with black artists, black audiences, and the broader subject of racial blackness.

Description

Among Others: Blackness at MoMA begins with an essay that provides a rigorous and in-depth analysis of MoMA's history regarding racial issues. It also calls for further developments, leaving space for other scholars to draw on particular moments of that history.

It takes an integrated approach to the study of racial blackness and its representation: the book stresses inclusion and, as such, the plate section, rather than isolating black artists, features works by non-black artists dealing with race and race-related subjects.

As a collection book, the volume provides scholars and curators with information about the Museum's holdings, at times disclosing works that have been little documented or exhibited. The numerous and high-quality illustrations will appeal to anyone interested in art made by black artists, or in modern art in general.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Insider praises the book as a reflective investigation confronting MoMA's complex relationship with Black artists through essays and remarkable artworks. Los Angeles Times describes it as a comprehensive examination of the museum’s legacy with Black artists, noting that while it won't resolve structural issues alone, it’s a significant starting point. It is recommended for scholars, academics in museum studies, and culture workers interested in critical historiographies and collection research.
