"This artist’s imperative midcareer retrospective...comes
with a rich catalog that captures her paintings’
stuttering intensity and discloses her abstracted source material
(wildfires, riots). Ms. Mehretu’s early, architectonic paintings
came at a high-water mark for globalization; her recent art,
more anxious and more impressive, features thrumming, multilayered
fields of color and ricky-tick calligraphic swoops that seethe with
the contemporary volatility of states and climates. The book is
dedicated to the pioneering Nigerian curator Okwui Enwezor,
who died before he could complete his contribution, but whose
global engagement animates many of its other essays." —Jason
Farago, The New York Times
"A long time coming, Julie Mehretu compiles for the first time a
comprehensive overview of the artist’s expansive and evolving body
of work made from 1996 to the present. —Culture Type
