Wangechi Mutu [Paperback]

The first monograph on the work of celebrated and influential Kenyan-American artist Wangechi Mutu

Wangechi Mutu's remarkable body of work touches on such issues as sexuality, ecology, politics, and the rhythms and chaos that govern the world.

Her paintings, sculptures, and collages, often enriched with culturally-charged materials including tea, synthetic hair, Kenyan soil, feathers, and sand, interweave fact with fiction, generating a unique form of myth-making that sets her apart from classical history or popular culture.

This is the first book to document her evolution and explore her impact.
