About the Item
Edition of 35, sold unframed.
This print is part of the ‘Berkeley:Suite’ series, which includes various layered combinations of McArthur Binion’s 1970s self-portrait, a snapshot of his childhood home, pages from his address book, and copies of his Mississippi birth certificate, with grids of lines or dots painted with sugar lift. In this print, Binion’s address book pages can be seen on the right-hand side, against the blue wash, with the components of the overlaid grid both revealing, and obscuring this element of the artist’s personal identity.
Binion has spent forty years creating uniquely autobiographical abstractions that blur the lines between Modernism, Abstract Expressionism and improvisation. Influenced by his Mississippi upbringing and African American identity, Binion’s minimalist compositions incorporate numerous materials. Monochromatic, obsessively crafted, and deeply personal, Binion’s pieces simultaneously connect to a legacy of modern mark-making and historical roots of the Deep South.

McArthur Binion
McArthur Binion is a Mississippi-born, Chicago-based painter. Inspired by the scale and materiality of Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism, he developed a pared-down visual language that employs strong graphic elements, circles and grids. He makes his marks with a monotonous, task-based approach that speaks to his personal history of manual labor. This history is also explored through his use of personal ephemera, images of his birth certificate and hand–written phonebook, on which he paints. Binion’s paintings are largely symbolic and achieve an expressive resonance that defies the reductive materialism of minimalism. His work is included in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, Washington D.C. The artist is represented by the Lehmann Maupin in New York and by the Richard Gray Gallery in Chicago.
