{"product_id":"bisa-butler-portraits","title":"Bisa Butler: Portraits","description":"A beautifully illustrated look at the work of one of today’s most exciting artists\n\nBisa Butler (b. 1973) is an American artist who creates arresting and psychologically nuanced portraits composed entirely of vibrantly colored and patterned fabrics that she cuts, layers, and stitches together. Often depicting scenes from African American life and history, Butler invites viewers to invest in the lives of the people she represents while simultaneously expanding art-historical narratives about American quiltmaking. Situating her interdisciplinary work within the broader history of textiles, photography, and contemporary art, contributions by a group of scholars—and entries by the artist herself—illuminate Butler’s approach to color, use of African-print fabrics, and wide-ranging sources of inspiration. Offering an in-depth exploration of one of America’s most innovative contemporary artists, this volume will serve as a primary resource that both introduces Butler’s work and establishes a scholarly foundation for future research.\n\nDistributed for the Art Institute of Chicago\n\nExhibition Schedule:\nKatonah Museum of Art, New York\n(March 15–October 4, 2020)\n\nArt Institute of Chicago\n(November 14, 2020–September 6, 2021)\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0300254318\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.0300254318.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Warren, Erica|Carter, Jordan|Butler, Bisa|Ko, Isabella|Wije, Michele\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Excellent condition with just a hint of character.
