This first in-depth look at Acts of Art, and its role within communities of Black artists in New York City, highlights the artists most closely tied to the gallery and its co-founder Nigel Jackson, from the early shows of Benny Andrews and James Denmark to the surveys of Loïs Mailou Jones and Hale Woodruff. In addition to an introductory essay and complete exhibition history, the volume includes artists' biographies and entries on important group exhibitions and events. The publication accompanies the exhibition Acts of Art in Greenwich Village, on view at Hunter College's Bertha and Karl Leubsdorf Galleries between Fall 2024 and Spring 2025.
