This catalogue accompanies James Barnor’s major solo exhibition, ‘Accra / London - A Retrospective’, at Serpentine, London (2021), MASI Lugano (2022) and Detroit Institute of Arts (2023). Fully illustrated, the book traces Barnor’s photographic practice across six decades. The book organises his extensive and diverse work over ten sections with design responds to visual cues within the images – sign-painting, colour, pattern – to bridge into his visual world.
