List of works by Faith Ringgold

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

American artist Faith Ringgold (October 8, 1930 – April 12, 2024) produced hundreds of paintings, quilts, mixed media works, posters, prints, sculptures, and soft sculptures over the course of her career, as well as more than 25 books, including illustrated children's books, artist's books, and an autobiography.

Below are chronological, though incomplete, lists of Ringgold's works by medium, with locations in public collections noted where known. Medium designations (e.g. print vs. poster) are Ringgold's own, as noted in the artist's extensive categorization system of the collection of her archives, works, and ephemera located at the David C. Driskell Center at the University of Maryland, College Park.[1] Ringgold adapted many of her works into multiple mediums; versions in different mediums are noted individually. Images of Ringgold's work are subject to copyright by the artist's estate.
