Description

The Museum of Modern Art presents Just Above Midtown: Changing Spaces, a richly illustrated catalog showcasing the history and legacy of the influential New York gallery. Founded by Linda Goode Bryant in 1974, JAM was a pioneering space that fostered collaboration among Black artists and those from diverse backgrounds. This jacketed paperback book features rarely seen material from JAM's archives, including artworks, ephemera, and photographs, as well as essays that contextualize the gallery's communal and programmatic activities. The catalog includes a conversation between Goode Bryant and Thelma Golden, Director of the Studio Museum in Harlem, a complete exhibition chronology, and excerpts from oral histories with JAM staff and artists. With nearly 50 annotated entries, this book provides a unique insight into the history and impact of Just Above Midtown.
