"Throughout his career, Ligon has pursued an incisive exploration of American history, literature, and society across bodies of work that build critically on the legacies of modern painting and conceptual art... This publication includes a recent artist interview and new essays, as well as conversations between Ligon and several specialists that illuminate connections among the works on display. Through an incisive examination of artistic techniques and styles, race and cultural hybridity, the volume explores how interpretation and meaning shift over time, offering fresh insights into the collections and Ligon's remarkable practice."--
