Agnes Cullen Arnold Distinguished Professor of the Humanities. The lavishly illustrated volume, offered in a signed and numbered edition of 2,000, surveys decades of the artist's work encompassing painting, sculpture (including his 2023 Barbara Jordan monument in downtown Houston), drawing, and installations. Metoyer's multilayered practice is examined through the narrative of his own African American experience paired with the utopian lens of Afrofuturism. Four art historians weigh in with essays: Valerie Cassel Oliver (curator of modern and contemporary art, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts; former senior curator, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston); Madeleine L. Haddon (senior curator, V&A East, Victoria & Albert Museum, London); Heather Pesanti (curator, Dimensional Fund Advisors Collection; former chief curator The Contemporary Austin); and PaperCity's Catherine D. Anspon, author of Texas Artists Today. Cassel Oliver writes of Metoyer: "The bending of time is but one gift with which this artist has been endowed. Another is his inherent ability to create visual language that elucidates a deep belief in the ability to traverse the many dimensions that surround us." $125, at the Menil Bookstore and amazon.com.
