Theaster Gates Young Lords and Their Traces

A comprehensive survey of one of the most innovative, boundary-breaking artists working today

Accompanying a major mid-career retrospective at the New Museum, New York, opening in November 2022, this book covers the full range of Gates's artistic activities over the past twenty years, capturing his expansive conception of art as a social sculptor, organizer, improviser, and preservationist.
