Gary Simmons: Public Enemy Exhibition Catalog

30 Years of Art That Hits Hard—Visually, Culturally, and Unapologetically. Step into the powerful world of Gary Simmons, one of the most influential artists of his generation, with this long-awaited, first-ever comprehensive survey of his work. Gary Simmons: Public Enemy Exhibition Catalog is more than a book—it’s a raw, riveting journey through three decades of bold artistic expression. From ghostly chalk drawings to large-scale installations and haunting sculptures, Simmons masterfully remixes the language of hip-hop, horror films, vintage cartoons, and American pop culture to expose the deep-rooted legacies of race, class, and masculinity in the U.S.

This stunning catalog includes never-before-seen images of works that haven’t been exhibited in years. It features powerful essays by Thelma Golden, Arthur Jafa, Seph Rodney, Nicholas Mirzoeff, and other influential voices. Throughout its pages, readers will find thought-provoking commentary on Simmons’ fearless interrogation of social systems and identity. Whether you’re an art lover, cultural critic, or collector of bold ideas, this book delivers the impact of a museum show right to your hands.

History meets hip-hop. Chalk meets chaos. Art meets activism.
