David Zwirner Books
Njideka Akunyili Crosby
Editor’s Notes:
The first monograph on one of the most significant painters working today. Njideka Akunyili Crosby’s layered compositions — painted representations of people and places woven together with photographic transfers from her personal archive and Nigerian publications — chart a deeply personal and universal exploration of African diasporic identity across nearly fifty works made between 2010 and 2023. With texts by Jareh Das, Helen Molesworth, Jason Rosenfeld, and Drew Thompson.
Drawing on David Zwirner’s world-renowned artists, estates, and exhibitions, the contemporary art gallery’s imprint publishes monographs, historical surveys, and collected writings of the highest quality.
