Fifteen Works by David Hammons edited by Kwamé SorrellBlackMass PublishingMarch 2022Selected by Claire de Rouen

This new pamphlet-style creation by artist Kwamé Sorrell gathers images of 15 works by American artist David Hammons. Made for exclusive sale at Claire de Rouen, there are 15 copies and each is unique, containing a print of one of the 15 works featured, inserted next to the page that shows the same work. Sorrell describes the decisions he made about print run and distribution in artistic terms: there is a concentrated energy in each of his modest and highly limited releases; they feel infused with powerful intention. BlackMass is an independent press promoting and publishing material by Black artists, founded by Yusuf Hassan in 2019. – Lucy Kumara Moore
