Selections from the extraordinary Studio Museum in Harlem Collection, accompanying the highly anticipated opening of the institution's first-ever purpose-built museum
Meaning Matter Memory is a keepsake extension of the Studio Museum's collection of artwork by artists of African descent. Beautiful illustrations of significant works by more than 250 artists are accompanied by original texts from more than 100 voices in the art world, including writers, scholars, artists, and critics.

The book exhibits and carries forward a principal tenet of the Studio Museum's mission: to serve as the stewards of the work - old, new, and still to be created - by artists of African descent.
