Description
Wangechi Mutu: A Monograph of Myth-Making Art. This comprehensive monograph explores the remarkable body of work of celebrated artist Wangechi Mutu, whose paintings, sculptures, and collages interweave fact with fiction to generate a unique form of myth-making. Enriched with culturally-charged materials, her art often touches on issues such as sexuality, ecology, politics, and the rhythms that govern our world. Mutu's work sets her apart from classical history or popular culture, instead creating a distinctive form of storytelling that blends fact and fiction. This book is the first to document her evolution and explore her impact, providing a valuable insight into the artistic vision and creative process of one of today's most innovative artists. With its richly detailed analysis and stunning visuals, this monograph is an essential resource for anyone interested in contemporary art and the work of Wangechi Mutu.
