The Ragmud Collection: Books by Aminah Robinson

OHIO---The Toledo Museum of Art is exhibiting a body of work in book form by African American artist Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson. We unexpectedly happened upon it during a visit to see the work of Fernando Botero. In this never-before-seen, 10-volume collection recently acquired by TMA from the Columbus, Ohio artist, Aminah Robinson shares her life experience as only she can through the use of sculptural pieces, buttons, drawings, poems and personal stories. Each of the books is a visual feast for the eyes covering a different theme. I purchased one of the companion books from "The Ragmud Collection," at the Museum Store.
