Derrick Adams's first monograph celebrates three decades of influential contemporary art. This comprehensive volume features 150 significant works spanning portraits, installations, and sculptures that capture modern Black American life with vibrant energy and cultural depth. Informed by both popular culture and art history, Adams's practice explores themes of joy, resilience, and celebration through richly layered imagery. The beautifully produced book includes four commissioned essays from cultural leaders and arrives in a cloth case with a tipped painting on the cover—an essential reference for collectors and art enthusiasts.
