Lorna Simpson: For the Sake of the Viewer

"Lorna Simpson uses photographs and texts to reveal, decode, and critique the cultural and historical contexts that give meaning to images and language." So begins Beryl J. Wright's introduction to this excellent and extensive catalogue of Simpson's work. Beautifully designed and produced, this catalogue involves the viewer in its inquisitive and challenging images, at once confrontational, yet open and instructive. This is a fine monograph of some very important work.
