Betye Saar - Uneasy Dancer - 2016

Product details

Curated by Elvira Dyangani Ose, “Betye Saar: Uneasy Dancer” is the first Italian exhibition of the American artist (Los Angeles, 1926) that brings together more than 80 works including installations, assemblages, collages and sculptures produced between 1966 and 2016. Through her expert use of found objects, personal memorabilia, and derogatory images that evoke denied or distorted narratives, Saar developed a powerful social critique that challenges racial and sexist stereotypes ingrained in American culture.This book presents Betye Saar's works, practice, and artistic career as a flow of visual information and contains three essays by scholars and art historians discussing Saar's artistic experience.
