Author: Beverly Buchanan
At the heart of Beverly Buchanan’s (born 1940) work is a belief in transformation. Her art speaks to cycles of collapse and rebirth—of buildings, of landscapes, of lives. Ruination and Regeneration examines Buchanan’s major bodies of work, including her abstract paintings of 1970s New York, her cast-concrete “frustules,” her site-specific installations such as Marsh Ruins and her acclaimed “shack” sculptures—tributes to the handmade homes of Black tenant farmers in the rural South. Featuring essays, interviews, poems, archival materials and Buchanan’s own writings, this volume offers a rich and multifaceted reflection of her deeply personal and politically charged oeuvre. Ruination and Regeneration not only honors Buchanan’s legacy but also reframes how we see memory, place and the power of making art from what remains.
ISBN 9781636812281. Delmonico Books/Andrew Edlin Gallery. hb. 296 pages. 9.5 x 10 in.
