Summary note

This book centers on a sumptuously reproduced portfolio of the artist's Kin series, in which images of anonymous African-Americans are paired with found objects evoking their personalities and experiences. Tangible presences that powerfully connect with the viewer, Lovell's works invoke issues of cultural heritage and personal identity as they imaginatively reflect the lives of forgotten Americans. Also included are the artist's large-scale installations and works from the 1980s and early 1990s. 0Exhibition: The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C., USA (08.10.16 - 08.01.2017) / Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City, USA (02.02. - 05.05.2017).
