Mark Bradford: Merchant Posters

“Builder and demolisher” is Mark Bradford’s self-described moniker. This book features an extensive selection of this artist’s heavily textured “merchant posters”—décollages and collages of brightly colored local advertisements targeting vulnerable lower-income residents that he collected from around his Central Los Angeles neighborhood. Text by Malik Gaines, Ernest Hardy, Philippe Vergne, and Heidi Zuckerman Jacobson.
