“A star, a glare, an inquiring dare,” is how Greg Tate described Dawoud Bey’s work in his essay for Street Portraits: Dawoud Bey (Mack Books, April 2021). From 1988 to 1991, Dawoud Bey made a series of portraits of African-Americans in the streets of various American cities. He asked a cross section of the populations of these communities to pose for him, creating a space for self-presentation and performance. The portraits will be on view at Stephen Daiter Gallery, Chicago, with another series by Bey, New Orleans, and work from Robert Frank’s famous series The Americans.
