AMERICAN BOOK AWARD WINNER Far-ranging and thought-provoking essays on the relation of art and ethnic identity. This first collection by award-winning author John Yau, drawn from decades of work, includes essays about Black, Asian, Latinx, and Native American artists: sculptors Luis Jimenez and Ruth Asawa; “second generation Abstract Expressionists” such as the Black painter Ed Clark and the Japanese American painter Matsumi Kanemitsu; the performance artists James Luna and Patty Chang; the photographers Laurel Nakadate and Teju Cole; and a generation of Asian American artists that has emerged during the last decade. While identity is at the fore in this collection, Yau’s essays also propose the need for an expansive view of identity, as in the essay “On Reconsidering Identity,” which explores the writings of Lydia Cabrera and Edouard Glissant, and the possibilities of creolisation versus the reductiveness of Aime Cesaire’s Negritude . Please Wait by the Coat Room is for serious readers interested in the art and artists of color that many mainstream institutions and critics misrepresented or overlooked. It presents a view guided by the artists’ desire for autonomy and freedom in a culture that has deemed them undesirable or invisible.

John Yau is a poet, fiction writer, art critic, and curator who began writing about art in 1978, when his reviews first appeared in Art in America . Since then, he has contributed essays to more than 200 catalogs and museum publications, curated exhibitions, and been the arts editor for The Brooklyn Rail (2007-2011) and regular contributor to the online magazine Hyperallergic (since 2012). The author of monographs on Jasper Johns, Liu Xiaodong, Catherine Murphy, A. R. Penck and many others, he received the Rabkin Prize for art criticism in 2021.
