Her work has been associated with the Black Arts Movement and distinctly Californian aesthetics such as Bay Area expressionism, West Coast conceptual art and San Francisco funk. In recent decades, Howard has produced numerous large-scale public artworks both within the Bay Area and throughout the country. These installations vary from site-specific outdoor environments, to architecturally integrated surface treatments, to stand-alone sculptural objects and structures.\u003cbr\u003eThis compendium covers the entire scope of Howard's multifaceted, politically engaged practice, featuring a selection of works that represent different aspects of her oeuvre alongside essays and an interview with the artist. \u003ci\u003ePoetics of Memory\u003c\/i\u003e also includes photographs of Howard's archive and studio commissioned specifically for the volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mildred Howard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646570510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646570515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Marquand Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Mildred Howard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447131746559,"sku":"9781646570515","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9aefc3d7-a6b0-456c-82cc-6b219b9473c3.jpg?v=1777229043","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mildred-howard-mildred-howard-9781646570515","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
