洛弗尔的诗意装置唤起了非洲裔美国人祖先失落的声音

《纽约时报》评选的“2023年最佳艺术书籍”之一

Whitfield Lovell以他的装置作品而闻名于世，他的作品融合了从《解放宣言》到民权运动期间的非裔美国人的肖像。洛弗尔以复古摄影为素材，经常将他的拍摄对象与发现的物品配对，唤起个人记忆、祖先的联系和美国的集体过去。

Whitfield Lovell: Deep River汇集了来自Lovell知名的“Deep River”装置的无名非裔美国公民的惊人肖像，该装置向“禁运营”致敬，这是田纳西州查塔努加附近的一个联邦军队驻地，在内战期间为逃离南方邦联的逃跑奴隶提供避难所。本书包括凯莉·琼斯(Kellie Jones)的序言和学者朱莉·l·麦基(Julie L. McGee)的随笔，这篇随笔为这本出版物中强调的这些深刻共鸣的肖像提供了历史背景。麦基写道:“洛弗尔的艺术是一个容器，让那些祖先的灵魂留在身边，与那些能够让过去变得有形、触手可及、意义深远的人交流。”

纽约艺术家Whitfield Lovell的作品在世界各地展出和收藏。目前的巡回展览《惠特菲尔德·洛弗尔:通道》(Whitfield Lovell: Passages)将于6月17日在弗吉尼亚州里士满的弗吉尼亚美术博物馆(Virginia Museum of Fine Arts)开幕，并将在另外四个场馆巡回展出。主要的装置作品在华盛顿特区的菲利普斯收藏馆展出;纽约布朗克斯艺术博物馆;拉勒米的怀俄明大学;乔治亚州的哥伦布博物馆;弗吉尼亚当代艺术中心等。他的作品被博物馆收藏，包括现代艺术博物馆;布鲁克林博物馆;惠特尼美国艺术博物馆;大都会艺术博物馆;史密森尼美国艺术博物馆;以及史密森尼国家非裔美国人历史和文化博物馆。

Lovell’s poetical installations invoke the lost voices of African American ancestry

A New York Times 'Best Art Books of 2023' pick

Whitfield Lovell is internationally renowned for his installations that incorporate masterful Conté crayon likenesses of African Americans from between the Emancipation Proclamation and the Civil Rights Movement. Using vintage photography as his source, Lovell often pairs his subjects with found objects, evoking personal memories, ancestral connections and the collective American past.

Whitfield Lovell: Deep River compiles stunning likenesses of anonymous African American citizens from Lovell’s celebrated Deep River installation, which pays homage to “Camp Contraband”―a Union Army site near Chattanooga, Tennessee, that served as a refuge for runaway slaves escaping the Confederate South during the Civil War. The book includes a preface by Kellie Jones and an accompanying essay by the scholar Julie L. McGee, which provides the historical context for these deeply resonant portraits highlighted in this publication. McGee writes: “Lovell’s artistry is a vessel for those ancestral spirits that remain near and communicate with those who are able to make the past tangible, accessible and acutely meaningful.”

The work of New York–based artist Whitfield Lovell has been exhibited and collected worldwide. The current traveling exhibition, Whitfield Lovell: Passages, will open on June 17 at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, in Richmond, Virginia, and will travel to four additional venues. Major installations have been featured at the Phillips Collection in Washington, DC; the Bronx Museum of the Arts in New York; University of Wyoming in Laramie; the Columbus Museum in Georgia; and the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia, among others. His work is in museum collections including the Museum of Modern Art; the Brooklyn Museum; Whitney Museum of American Art; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Smithsonian American Art Museum; and the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.
