The fourth book of the five-volume publication project presents the artist?s photography. Though primarily a painter, Hendricks credits photography as a key to his practice, which he studied under Walker Evans and often uses as reference to create his stunning, photorealistic portraits. For the first time,they are grouped together in a dedicated volume. Skira and Jack Shainman Gallery have partnered to realize an unprecedented book project dedicated to the artist Barkley L. Hendricks (1945?2017). Theproject consists of four booklets, each of which provides an in-depth exploration of a body of work integral to the artist?s output (Works on Paper, Landscape Paintings, Basketball Paintings, Photography), followed by a comprehensive300-page monograph which will trace the artist?s evolution for the entirety of his career.The project is tied to an extensive and never-accomplished-before recovery of the artist?s archive. Each book contains essays by different leading international scholars. Jack Shainman Gallery has represented Hendricks since 2009. His solo exhibition sat Jack Shainman Gallery include Heart Hands Eyes Mind (2013), Barkley L. Hendricks (2016) and Them Changes (2018). Anna Arabindan-Kesson is professor of African American and Black Diaspotic Art at Princeton University.
