The Metropolitan Museum of Art Superfine: Tailoring Black Style Postcard Pack
27.95 USD
Metropolitan Museum of Art cards. This postcard pack celebrates The Costume Institute's spring 2025 exhibition. Superfine: Tailoring Black Style presents a cultural and historical examination of the Black dandy, from the figure's emergence in Enlightenment Europe during the 18th century to today's incarnations in cities around the world. Inspired by Guest Curator Monica L. Miller's 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, the exhibition explores the importance of sartorial style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora. Historically, the term dandy was used to describe someone-often a man-who is extremely devoted to style and approaches it as a discipline. Dandyism was initially imposed on Black men in 18th-century Europe as the Atlantic slave trade and an emerging culture of consumerism created a trend of fashionably dressed, or dandified, servants. Dandyism offered Black people an opportunity to use clothing, gesture, irony, and wit to transform their given identities and imagine new ways of embodying political and social possibilities. Superfine: Tailoring Black Style tells the Black dandy's story over time through a range of media, such as garments and accessories, drawings and prints, and paintings, photographs, film excerpts, and more. Taken together, these narratives offer a history and description of Black dandyism as a discrete phenomenon that reflects broader issues of power and race in the Black diaspora.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Lorna Simpson: Source Notes
52.95 USD
A Met Museum publication is the perfect gift for art lovers. By Lauren Rosati with contributions by Hilton Als, David Breslin, and Adrienne Edwards This revelatory first look at the paintings of Lorna Simpson (b. 1960), an artist who has worked primarily as a photographer for much of her career, examines this significant new development in her practice over the last decade. Simpson's recent works, midway between photography and painting, advance her incisive explorations of gender, race, and history through bodies that emerge and disappear-peering from inky surfaces or dissolving into landscapes of melting ice. Her paintings draw on documentary photographs and images from vintage Ebony and Jet magazines, combining screen-printed collages of found images with washes of colorful ink on fiberglass, wood, or clayboard. The texts in this volume explore how Simpson's fascination with time, memory, and the indeterminacy of representation propels her experiments in works that are both figurative and abstract, portraits and landscapes, paintings and photographs. Lauren Rosati is Associate Curator in the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art and Research Projects Manager in the Leonard A. Lauder Research Center for Modern Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
