	Founded in 1983, Recherché is one of the longest standing independent artists' cooperatives in the city of Philadelphia. From the catalog: Recherché is an organization of African American artists born of a reaction to attitudes of exclusion. It is a group encompassing several styles and approaches to the creative process, and its purpose is clear: to make our work visible as a collective and to make viable the reality of its quality and relevance. Recherché exists to affirm the universal struggle of all artists in expressing individual sensitivity to order and form. The challenge for the African American artist is the same as it has been historically for all artists: a search for a means of expression relative to the time and place and culture in which he or she lives. It is a testament to the human creative impulse that the black artist has continued to create in the face of discouraging odds. Artists featured in the catalog:
