Judy Chicago's "Yes, I am Black and Radiant" from "Voices from the Song of Songs", a 1999 portfolio of six images and six text pages. She worked with Marcia Falk+-IBk-s new translation of the ancient biblical text, which emphasizes its human and erotic nature as well as the mutuality of desire. The image of a black woman in a powerful stance resonates even more now with the rise and importance of the Black Lives Matter movement. The images fuse the heliorelief photographic woodblock method with lithography, while the text pages in both English and Hebrew are rendered in heliorelief for the beautiful background gradations and polymer plastic relief for the text, along with handcoloring by the artist. Framed at 25 by 42 inches, the work is from a limited edition of 30, numbered 1/30. The artwork is signed and in very good condition, with vibrant color and a well-preserved frame.
