This volume, through studio documentation and a new text by fellow artist and New Yorker Gregg Bordowitz, focuses on various aspects of Ligon's art-making. \u003ci\u003eGlenn Ligon\u003c\/i\u003e features newer works by the artist, such as a monumental new painting from Ligon's ongoing \u003ci\u003eStranger in the Village\u003c\/i\u003e series, begun in 1997. In the series, Ligon renders excerpts from novelist James Baldwin's 1953 essay of the same name, which describes the writer's experiences as an African American in a small town in Switzerland. Measuring 45 feet long, this triptych will mark the first time Ligon has used the entire text from Baldwin's essay in a single work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glenn Ligon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3906915662\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783906915661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hauser \u0026amp; Wirth Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.40h x 8.50w x 1.10d","brand":"Glenn Ligon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993900581119,"sku":"9783906915661","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3bd77d50-a425-4c6d-99b3-d6cb45fb6547.jpg?v=1683326955","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/glenn-ligon-glenn-ligon-9783906915661","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
