Black History Month at Daily Plinth continues with a visit to Jack Whitten in his studio.

From Hauser & Wirth:

Jack Whitten talks to Frieze about his life and work in his studio in Queens, New York, on the occasion of his exhibition ‘More Dimensions Than You Know: Jack Whitten, 1979 – 1989’ at Hauser & Wirth London.

Jack Whitten (1939 – 2018) is an American abstract painter celebrated for his innovative transfiguration of paint in works equally alert to materiality, politics and metaphysics. Mentored by both Willem de Kooning and Norman Lewis, with a career spanning five decades, Whitten holds a unique place in the narrative of postwar American art.
