Wangechi Mutu

Edwards, Adrienne (Art critic)2022
Books
Here is a monograph on the work of celebrated and influential Kenyan-American artist Wangechi Mutu. Wangechi Mutu's remarkable body of work touches on such issues as sexuality, ecology, politics, and the rhythms and chaos that govern the world. Her paintings, sculptures, and collages, often enriched with culturally-charged materials including tea, synthetic hair, Kenyan soil, feathers, and sand, interweave fact with fiction, generating a unique form of myth-making that sets her apart from classical history or popular culture. This book documents her evolution and explores her impact.
