STAFF RECOMMENDS
"Alice Neel was a sensitive and fearless portraitist; she painted her neighbors in Spanish Harlem as well as those in the worlds of art, culture, and political activism. Here we get to admire her portraits of members of the LGBTQ+ community, many of whom were her close friends. It is truly inspiring to see that through her creative work, Neel was such a forward-thinking advocate for Queer identities." - Grove / Sales Associate
Curated by Hilton Als and organized in collaboration with the Estate of Alice Neel, At Home: Alice Neel in the Queer World highlights the artist’s vibrant involvement with the human condition and extends the reach of her recent retrospectives at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Barbican, and the Centre Pompidou. Within a lifetime of painting, Neel painted many people from many walks of life––this catalogue is the first to focus on queer communities and those who circled within them. This collection of paintings includes rarely seen works of individuals including Frank O’Hara, Allen Ginsberg, and Adrienne Rich, as well as the bohemian theorists, Greenwich Village activists, artists, and politicians who populated these spaces. Hardcover, 144 pages.
