Howardena Pindell: Howardena

Published to mark Howardena Pindell’s solo exhibition at White Cube Bermondsey (November 2025 – January 2026), this monograph charts an extensive body of work made between the 1960s and the present day. Lavishly illustrated and offering compelling full-bleed details, Howardena offers a discovery of the inimitable life and practice of the groundbreaking African American artist.

Howardena is a pocketable, hardcover book with a hole-punched dustjacket wrapping a manila board. Boasting four new texts, the publication provides the reader with generous insight into the textural nuance and political sensibility that underpins all of Pindell’s work. Introduced by Rosanna McLaughlin, the publication includes a revelatory piece by writer and academic Christina Sharpe that reflects upon Pindell’s persistent use of the circle, and a short essay by the legendary Lucy R. Lippard, a long-time friend of Pindell’s, focusing on the artist’s films.Howardena also features an in-conversation between Pindell and Courtney Willis Blair, Managing Director White Cube New York, which addresses the artist’s use of the grid.
