Glenn Ligon AMERICA

C-monster was kind enough to give me one of her copies of this fantastic book, here. This large book which full of great images of the work and a few essays that I probably should read sometime, came out with Ligon's retrospective at the Whitney.

Ligon's work impressed me with it's big impact which is carried down to the smallest of details. Thankfully this book includes many close-ups, allowing a better understanding of the works.
