The first monograph dedicated to the legacy of an under-recognized artist who passed on September 11, 2001

American artist Michael Richards (1963-2001) was born in Brooklyn and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. Integral to a generation of Black artists emerging in the 1990s, Richards' work gestures toward reprieve from social injustices, often in the context of the historic and ongoing oppression of Black people. Richards' exploration of freedom and escape centered on themes of flight and aviation, with which he engaged through the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen, Greek mythology, Christianity and African and African American folklore. His nascent career was cut short when he passed away on September 11, 2001, while working in his Lower Manhattan Cultural Council studio in the World Trade Center.
