Explore all of Marshall's prints, spanning from the 1970s to present day, including unseen pieces for the first time.

Kerry James Marshall is renowned for his masterfully rendered artworks that tackle the lack of representation of the Black figure in the traditional Western artistic tradition. Beyond his well-known paintings, Marshall has a vast collection of graphic works that have rarely been seen or documented. In his youth, Marshall honed his skills in drawing, painting, wood engraving, and printing; by his mid-twenties, he was proficient in woodcuts, etchings, and aquatints. Most of his prints were created not in professional workshops, but by the artist himself, working alone in his studio. They vary in size, from postcards to his monumental 50-foot-long woodcut Untitled (1998–99) to continuous iterations of his ongoing magnum opus Rythm Mastr. While some pieces have been acquired by prominent museums, many remain in private collections or the artist's personal archive, unknown to the public. This catalogue raisonné provides the first comprehensive overview of these significant works.

Born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1955 and later moving to Los Angeles, Kerry James Marshall has taught painting at the University of Illinois at Chicago's School of Art and Design for many years. President Barack Obama recognized him in 2013 through the Committee on the Arts and the Humanities. In 2017, Marshall was featured on the Time 100 list of the world's most influential people. Currently, the National Cathedral in Washington, DC is collaborating with Marshall to produce two new stained-glass windows. He currently resides and works in Chicago.
