MoMA One on One Series Betye Saar Black Girl's Window Softcover

Product Description

This softcover art book from the Museum of Modern Art’s One on One series focuses on Black Girl’s Window (1969) by artist Betye Saar.

The publication explores Saar’s iconic assemblage work, created using found imagery and fragments of her own prints arranged within a discarded window frame. At its center is a striking image of a young girl gazing outward through parted curtains, her hands pressed against the glass.

Serving as a bridge between Saar’s sculptural works and her lesser-known works on paper, Black Girl’s Window combines spiritual symbolism, political imagery, and personal history into a deeply resonant visual composition.

Featuring essays by Esther Adler and Christophe Cherix, this volume provides insight into Saar’s early career and artistic influences, offering readers a deeper understanding of this important work through both scholarly interpretation and the artist’s perspective.

Part of the MoMA “One on One” series, this book highlights a single work from the museum’s collection, combining detailed analysis with rich illustrations to place the artwork within its broader historical and cultural context.
