Betye Saar (American, b. 1926), The Long Memory. Original 18-color screenprint pubished by the National Museum of Women in the Arts, 1998. 100 signed and numbered impressions on Somerset UK printed at Grsham Studio Ltd. in Cambridge, England. Saar's early work attempted to destroy rascist stereotypes of African Americans; her more recent work explores her "deep-felt interest in the occult, astrology, and African consciousness." According to Yolanda M. Lopez and Moira Roth in The Power of Feminist Art, edited by Norma Broude & Mary D. Garrard (Abrams, 1994), "Over the past twenty years, Saar . . . [has] traversed her mystic worlds in which she weaves together interests in the occult, family, and black culture and history" (146). She has been called "one of the most visionary artists to emerge in the last forty years" (Robin D. G. Kelly, Freedom Dreams and is the subject of James Christen Steward et al, Betye Saar: Extending the Frozen Moment [Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Museum of Art, 2005]). Image size: 370x296mm. Price: $3250.
Also available: James Christen Steward et al, Betye Saar: Extending the Frozen Moment (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2005). Condition: mint in publisher's shrink wrap: publisher's list: $75.00; our price: $45.00 (free shipping).
