Additional Details

This limited edition print is a complement to Come Out, Ligon's series of large paintings based on Minimalist composer Steve Reich's groundbreaking sound composition of the same name from the 1960s. Reich's composition was created in support of the retrial for the "Harlem Six," a group of six Black youths falsely charged with murder in 1964. Ligon's series, a reflection upon the United States' historical racial oppression, was exhibited at the Camden Arts Centre, London, from October 10, 2014–January 11, 2015.
