Description

This signed first edition of “The Notion of Family” by LaToya Ruby Frazier serves as a profound visual manifesto on the intersection of industrial decline and social inequality. Focused on her hometown of Braddock, Pennsylvania, Frazier utilizes collaborative portraiture with her mother and grandmother to document the environmental and healthcare crises affecting Black families after the collapse of the steel industry. This 2014 Aperture monograph, which contributed to Frazier winning a MacArthur “Genius” Grant, explores the “politics of the body” and the historical erasure of the working class. Each copy in this edition is hand-signed by the artist, making it a highly collectible record of one of the most significant documentary projects of the 21st century.
