The first encompassing publication on the work of Adam Pendleton, one of the most formally inventive and conceptually rigorous American artists working today
Adam Pendleton's original and powerful body of work has been described as the embodiment of a new era. His multifaceted projects, which include painting, collage, film, and publishing, re-contextualize historical and theoretical positions on abstraction, blackness, and the avant-garde. Working predominantly in black-and-white, Pendleton often creates 'total works' that envelop viewers and push the limits of contemporary discourse.
A rising star in the international art scene, Pendleton is currently represented by PACE in New York, London, and Hong Kong; Shane Campbell in Chicago; David Kordansky in Los Angeles; Max Hetzler in Berlin; Pedro Cera in Lisbon; and Eva Presenhuber in Zurich.

Adam Pendleton is a Virginia-born, New York-based artist known for his multifaceted, language-based practice, which includes film, collage, painting, performance, and publishing. His re-contextualization of history often results in fresh interpretations of the present, where new and old narratives and meanings co-exist, as one of his main projects, Black Dada (2008-ongoing) testifies. Working predominantly in black-and-white, and often in collaboration with other artists, Pendleton's work constantly explores issues related to mechanisms of representation and notions of race
