Lyle Ashton Harris, Excessive Exposure: The Complete Chocolate Portraits
In 2009, Gregory R. Miller & Co. will publish a major work documenting all of Lyle Ashton Harris’s portraits made with the large format (20 x 24 inches) Polaroid camera over the last eight years. This series of beautiful chocolate-colored paired front and back portraits, for which Harris has become well known, has now drawn to a close, making this the definitive publication of this body of work. Okwui Enwezor contributes a major new essay, which insightfully analyzes Harris's portrait practice and situates these portraits in the context of Harris's work over the last twenty years as well as in the broader history of portraiture. Foreword by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Book design by Tommy Gear.
Ghada Amer
In 2009, Gregory R. Miller & Co. will publish a comprehensive retrospective publication on the work of New York-based artist Ghada Amer. Amer, born in Egypt and raised in France, has become one of today's most important contemporary artists and has been widely celebrated for her hand-embroidered paintings in which abstract tracings of delicate threads are juxtaposed with often subtle erotic imagery. This book, which will be the definitive publicaton on Amer and her work, will document every body of work made by the artist throughout her career. It will also be the first publication about the artist to contain the full breadth of her practice, including her paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints and gardens. Art historian Maura Reilly will contribute a major text chronicling the trajectory of Amer's career. The book will also include a lengthy and revealing conversation between the artist and scholar Martine Antle and a foreword by Linda Nochlin. Book design by COMA.
