Description: A revelatory look at the life, work, and legacy of the legendary choreographer Alvin Ailey
Review Quotes: "Lovely as a companion piece to the current Whitney Museum exhibit or on its own, Edges of Ailey offers a rich, multitudinous window into the world of the choreographer Alvin Ailey with essays, photographs and personal papers; essentially, it does everything but dance."--Leah Greenblatt, New York Times, "Holiday Gift Guide 2024"
"As museum catalogs go, this one is a browser's treasury. One needn't read anything--or even be an English-language speaker--to enjoy it. . . . My favorite essay in the book [is] 'dear alvin, ' by choreographer, historian, and erstwhile Ailey archivist Thomas F. DeFrantz--a stunningly honest and deeply personal direct address to Ailey himself."--Mindy Aloff, Liber "A soaring tribute [and] an incredible catalog."--Victoria L. Valentine, Culture Type, "16 Best Black Art Books of 2024"
