Artist zine reprinted in facsimile.
Buchanan is best known for her later work, her sculptures of shacks, her architectural fragmentations. But she always kept a practice deeply producing various forms of printed matter. Personal notebooks, journals, scrapbooks, artist statements, clippings, photographic materials, illustrations, business cards and various zines, all were integral in her multi-layered oeuvre and are essential in understanding how she navigated between the various elements of impermanence, control, and the monumental. They also show how she used wit and fragility as a method or even a force of emotion.
Beverly Buchanan (1940–2015) was an African American artist whose work, which included painting, sculpture, video, and installation, was rooted in the popular culture, vernacular architecture, and history of the southern United States, where she grew up.
