Faith Ringgold

This is an important new book published to coincide with a major exhibition of Faith Ringgold’s new work and studio collection.

While the book explores Faith’s work in her studio and her personal artistic journey, it is also an encounter between one artist and another, between Faith and her collaborator Curlee Holton.

The mix provides unique insights into the struggles and triumphs of a woman who is at once an activist and an artist and whose achievements are admired throughout the world.

A View From the Studio also contains a unique section of Faith’spoetry which accompanies her new Jazz Series.
