Description: Designed to accompany a major traveling exhibition of Ringgold's work, Dancing at the Louvre offers a clear overview of her contribution to contemporary art and showcases in dazzling color, for the first time, all of the exquisite story quits in her celebrated series The French Collection.

It also features many earlier works such as the highly popular Tar Beach, and selections from The American Collection, begun in 1996 Essays examine her stylistic development from the 1960s through the 1990s and explore the social and political aspects of her story quilts. Recollections by feminist writer Michele Wallace, the artist's daughter, and by art historian Moira Roth add autobiographical insights.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 155-158) and index.
