Résumé : On Hammons' seminal series that ingeniously merged print and performance, celebration and critique. The first book dedicated to these pivotal early works on paper, David Hammons: Body Prints, 1968–1979 brings together the monoprints and collages in which the artist used the body as both a drawing tool and printing plate to explore performative, unconventional forms of image making. Hammons created the body prints by greasing his own body—or that of another person—with substances including margarine and baby oil, pressing or rolling body parts against paper, and sprinkling the surface with charcoal and powdered pigment. The resulting impressions are intimately direct indexes of faces, skin, and hair that exist somewhere between spectral portraits and physical traces. Hammons’ body prints represent the origin of his artistic language, one that has developed over a long and continuing career and that emphasizes both the artifacts and subjects of contemporary Black life in the United States.

Résumé : En 1983, D. Hammons installe un stand de boules de neige qu'il vend dans la rue pendant une journée. A partir de l'histoire de cette performance, l'auteure décrit le travail de l'artiste afro-américain, souvent conçu autour d'objets abandonnés liés à la culture noire américaine pour critiquer, d'une part le marché de l'art et le statut de l'oeuvre, et d'autre part le racisme aux Etats-Unis. ©Electre 2022
