Celebrate Black History Month with 'Among Others'

Betye Saar’s “Black Girl’s Window” (1969) is reproduced from Among Others: Blackness at MoMA, editors Darby English and Charlotte Barat’s 488-page exploration of MoMA’s unbalanced relationship with black artists, black audiences and the broader subject of racial blackness over the better part of the last century. "We who are alive can say the least of anyone about the future of The Museum of Modern Art,” English and Barat write. “But we can envision it and work toward what the mind’s eye sees—a MoMA future in which the black artist is not a special occasion or subject, but just one artist among others.”
