Hard Art

Accompanying the major exhibition at MoMA PS1, Hard Art examines the legacy of abstract painting by Black artists in the US from 1969 to today. Juxtaposing historical paintings by practitioners who came to prominence in the 1970s with recent conceptually driven practices that incorporate sculpture, video and sound, the publication proposes a network of practices seldom seen or theorized together. An introductory essay by Connie Butler, the Agnes Gund Director at MoMA PS1, suggests a number of cross-generational connections between artists that emphasize the enduring relevance and increasing urgency of abstraction in shaping the current political imaginary
