First monograph on Hugh Hayden now published by MIT Press

12 June 2023

The first-ever monograph on American artist Hugh Hayden, titled American Vernacular and published by MIT Press, is now available to purchase.

Hayden's sculptures are known for their engagement with notions of class, race, and cultural assimilation, as well as the construction of nature. This pioneering study of his work includes 90 full-color images of the artist's remarkable, labor-intensive sculptural practice over the past decade, as well as critical essays by curator Sarah Montross, Dr. Mark Anthony Neal, Carmen Maria Machado, and an interview between the artist and curator Horace Ballard, PhD.
