The long-awaited debut monograph of one of America's most acclaimed contemporary artists
Derrick Adams has built a vibrant and multifaceted artistic practice through portraits, social scenes, photographs, sculptures, and immersive installations that joyfully reflect contemporary Black American life.
Drawing inspiration equally from popular culture and the legacy of modern art, Adams centers the everyday experiences of Black Americans—capturing stylish expressions of joy, resilience, and celebration. His work radiates with color, dynamism, and layered meaning, whether portraying quiet, personal moments or bold, expansive visions.
This first comprehensive monograph presents 150 of the most pivotal works from Adams’s three-decade career, accompanied by four newly commissioned essays by leading cultural voices. Beautifully produced with vivid reproductions and housed in a clothbound case featuring a mounted painting on the cover, this striking volume affirms Derrick Adams’s place as a defining figure in contemporary figurative art.
