Where it came from
Published in 2012 by Luhring Augustine, this volume was produced to accompany the exhibition Glenn Ligon: AMERICA, a significant mid-career retrospective that traveled to the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. The book serves as a vital record of Ligon’s engagement with American history, literature, and identity, particularly his use of text-based painting to explore the nuances of race and sexuality.
The publication was designed with a focus on Ligon’s conceptual practice, featuring contributions from various scholars and critics who analyzed his multimedia approach. By centering the dialogue around his iconic neon works and text paintings, the book sought to contextualize Ligon’s work within the canon of contemporary American art. It was well-received by the academic and art gallery communities for its thorough documentation of the artist's evolution from the mid-1980s through 2011.
