Description

Smokehouse Associates: A Groundbreaking Study of Public Art in Harlem. In 1968, a group of artists came together to transform New York's Harlem community with vibrant murals and sculptures. This collective, known as Smokehouse Associates, was ambitious in its scale and community engagement, leaving a lasting impact on the built environment. Fifty years after its founding, this book offers the first critical examination of the group's work. Through previously unpublished images and ephemera, as well as a rich chronology, Smokehouse Associates sheds new light on the revolutionary potential of public art. The book features contributions from historians and artists, who provide context for the collective's work within the broader landscape of urban design and architecture in the United States.
