Description
Rarely seen installation works that exemplify this pioneering artistâ?Ts critical focus on Black identity and Black feminismShowcasing a lesser-known aspect of Saarâ?Ts art, Betye Saar: Serious Moonlight provides new insights into her explorations of ritual, spirituality and cosmologies, as well as themes of the African diaspora. Featured here are significant installations created by Saar from 1980 to 1998, including Oasis (1984), a work that will be reconfigured at ICA Miamiâ?Ts Saar exhibition for the first time in more than 30 years. With compelling scholarship and rich illustrationâ?"combining new installation photography and archival materialâ?"the monograph provides a fresh look at this significant artistâ?Ts critical and influential practice. Betye Saar: Serious Moonlight reinforces and celebrates Saarâ?Ts standing as a visionary artist, storyteller and mythmaker, and the ongoing significance and relevance of her work to the most pressing issues in America today. Betye Saar (born 1926) is renowned for pioneering Black feminism and West Coast assemblage in her visionary artistic practice, through dense, complexly referential objects.

Saarâ?Ts work was prominently featured in We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women, 1965â?"85 at the Brooklyn Museum, New York, and in Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power at Tate Modern, London, which traveled to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Arkansas; Brooklyn Museum; The Broad, Los Angeles; and the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
