Description
Mark Bradford's Merchant Posters brings together an extensive collection of American artist Mark Bradford's "merchant posters" for the first time. These vibrant, textured prints were originally printed advertisements targeting vulnerable residents in his Central Los Angeles neighborhood. For Bradford, they serve as both formal and conceptual foundations for his works on paper, engaging with the cityscape's pressures. The posters' repetition of images creates a sense of tension and aggression, reflecting the artist's observations on urban life. This publication offers a unique insight into Bradford's work, featuring contributions from art critic Ernest Hardy, writer Malik Gaines, poet Heidi Zuckerman Jacobson, and Dia Art Foundation Director Philippe Vergne.
