The Museum of Modern Art is among the first to admit that its
uneven relationship with Black artists, and "Among Others" is a
reflection, and an investigation, confronting that truth through
essays and some of the best artwork ever produced.-- "Insider"
A phone book-sized tome that serves as a frank examination of that
institution's legacy in displaying, acquiring and otherwise
engaging work by Black artists [...] On its own, "Among Others"
won't fix MoMA's structural issues. But it's a beginning. Hopefully
it inspires similar accounts at other museums.--Carolina Miranda
"Los Angeles Times"
Among Others is a three-part publication that analyzes the museum's
tumultuous historical relationship with Black artists and Black
audiences, its role in shaping the cultural politics of race, and
the shortcomings of its collection, programs, and practice [...] I
recommend this publication for scholars interested in the genealogy
and variants of primitivism, for academics teaching museum studies
courses, and for creative professionals curious about collection
research and critical historiographies. Above all, Among Others
will be indispensable to culture workers of organizations of all
sizes who are taking a hard look at their institutional history and
seeking to make structural and sustainable change.--Martha Scott
Burton "CAA (College Art Association)"
Published by the Museum of Modern Art, this 484-page book seeks to
reexamine the history of its collection by highlighting the role of
black artists, the black community, and art about blackness [...]
The book is a part of the museum's overall efforts to present the
trajectory of art history with a more global view and the long
overdue acknowledgement of African American cultural
contributions.--Lucy Rees "Galerie"
"Among Others: Blackness at MoMA" considers the institution's
complex history with black artists, black audiences, and art about
blackness.--Victoria L Valentine "Culture Type"
As museums across the world reevaluate their histories while
acknowledging past instances of racism and sexism, Among Others, an
anthology about the Museum of Modern Art's maligned ways of dealing
with blackness over the decades, serves as a critical tome.--Alex
Greenberger "ARTnews"
This book is exemplary for its combination of new research,
interpretive analysis and quantities of information. Given free
rein in the Museum of Modern Art's archives, the authors mined the
untold story of the museum's fraught relationship with race in
general and black artists and their work in particular.--Roberta
Smith "New York Times"
This detailed, well-documented account of MoMA's history of
collecting and exhibiting black art reveals historically
problematic curatorial attitudes towards black art and
artists.--Deirdre Spencer "ARLIS/NA Reviews"
