More on the Book

Skira and Jack Shainman Gallery present an extraordinary boxed set celebrating the legacy of Barkley L. Hendricks. This set comprises five volumes: four thematic booklets delving into essential aspects of his oeuvre (Works on Paper, Landscape Paintings, Basketball Paintings, and Photography) and a definitive 300-page monograph tracing his artistic trajectory. This ambitious project is informed by an extensive recovery and examination of Hendricks’s archival materials, offering unprecedented insights into his multifaceted practice.

The thematic booklets provide focused examinations of key bodies of work, granting readers a deeper understanding of each facet of his creative output. These volumes are essential for art enthusiasts, institutions, and scholars, offering nuanced perspectives and scholarly essays by leading international contributors.

The monograph, the centrepiece of the collection, offers a comprehensive overview of Hendricks’s artistic achievements. It illuminates his photographic explorations as precursors to modern street photography, his mastery of colour blending oil-based and water-based pigments to evoke distinct atmospheres, and his ability to capture authenticity in his bold depictions of women, unapologetic queer identities, and the vibrant Black communities of the African Diaspora. The boxed set, featuring a printed case for added distinction, is a collector’s treasure and a vital resource for understanding Hendricks’s enduring influence.
