David Zwirner is pleased to present Afro Margin, an exhibition of eight pencil drawings by Chris Ofili. This is the artist's second exhibition at the gallery. His 2007 debut, Devil's Pie, was an expansive exhibition uniting his work in painting, sculpture, printmaking, and graphite drawing.

To accompany the exhibition, Radius Books/David Zwirner will publish Chris Ofili: Afro Margin, a limited edition catalogue of 500, signed and numbered by the artist. The catalogue includes a poem by Inua Ellams, a poet, writer, teacher, and performer based in London and an essay by Cameron Shaw, a New Yorkbased writer.
