| book description |

A New York Times best art book of 2022 A groundbreaking study of the public art collective Smokehouse Associates, whose abstract works transformed New Yorkâ€™s Harlem community in the late 1960s Â Between 1968 and 1970, the artist collective Smokehouse Associates transformed Harlem with vibrant, community-oriented abstract murals and sculptures. Established by William T. Williams and including Melvin Edwards, Guy Ciarcia, and Billy Rose, Smokehouse grew to encompass a range of creative practitioners united around the revolutionary potential of public art. Though relatively unknown today, Smokehouse was ambitious in its scale, community engagement, and interaction with the built environment. Â Published over fifty years after the collectiveâ€™s founding, Smokehouse Associates offers the first critical examination of the groupâ€™s work. Eric Booker provides a historical overview of the collective; Charles Davis II and James Trainor delve into contextual histories of public art, urban design, and architecture; and an artist roundtable moderated by Ashley James presents critical reflections. With previously unpublished images and ephemera and a rich chronology, Smokehouse Associates serves as a sourcebook that expands the narrative of public art and social practice in the United States to include the contributions of artists of African descent. Â Distributed for The Studio Museum in Harlem
