Amy Sherald
Edited by Eddie Silva. Foreword by Lisa Melandri. Text by Erin Christovale.
This is the first monograph on Baltimore artist Amy Sherald, and coincides with her first solo museum show at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis. Sherald, best known for her stunning and iconic portrait of Michelle Obama, makes paintings of African Americans she encounters on the street, in the grocery store or on the bus. Sherald captures the essence of her particular subjects while engaging in broader dialogues about the black experience, the performance of race and the historic lack of nonwhite representation in the Western art canon.
