Yet Gilliam's contributions to art history extend for beyond these often monumental and always dramatic works. In this volume, the first in-depth book devoted to Gilliam, Corcoran Gallery of Art Curator of
Contemporary Art Jonathan P. Binstock explores four decades of work and establishes the artist's place in the history of post-1960s art. Binstock's wide-ranging and provocative inquiry into Gilliam's groundbreaking achievements as a modernist and an African American artist is supported with a wealth of beautifully produced illustrations - both full-color and black-and-white - as well as an annotated and illustrated chronology and an exhaustive bibliography. This thoughtful exploration and
appraisal of Gilliam's extraordinary oeuvre places the artist at the forefront of American abstract art."--BOOK JACKET.
