Congratulations to the author @teri__henderson, the essayists @afrovisualism, @herstoryhunter & Danielle Canter, and you—the 50+ Black Collagists featured.
This book is a vital publication that corrects the historical art canon which incorrectly gave Picasso credit with being the founder of collage. Black artists were making collage around the same time. And you all are a part of the history.
I also want to thank Kanyer Publishing and the arm of the Doug + Laurie Kanyer Art Collection for their focus on building a historical archive of contemporary collage. It is their vision and financial commitment that has made this book possible.
Join me in honoring this historic event by sharing this great news!

About the Collection:
The Doug + Laurie Kanyer Art Collection is one of very few private collections focusing on collage, exclusively, in the world. The Collection has holdings from 135 artists residing 35 countries with a total holdings of 689 collages. The intention of the collectors is for the entire Collection to be eventually donated to an institution yet to be determined. One key mission of the collection is to make a historical record of collages created by collagists from 1980 to the present.
