In the Studio: Lee Lozano

A rare window into the practice of Conceptual artist Lee Lozano, absent from the art world by her own design

Lauded as the foremost female Conceptual artist of her time, Lee Lozano (1930-99) is the focus of the third installment of Hauser & Wirth Publishers' In the Studio series, offering readers an accessible and richly illustrated introduction to the artist's work. Remembered for her withdrawal and ultimate rejection of the art world and her Conceptual life-performance of refusing to speak to women, Lozano exposed the systemic and ruthless division of the world into categories, be it gender or capitalism's demand for constant production. Authored by Lucrezia Calabrò Visconti, co-curator of the traveling exhibition Lee Lozano: Strike, the book explores the themes of the body and issues of gender that Lozano investigated in her paintings with an unconstrained physicality. This compact yet focused study is flexibound with a linen cover and tip-on image, and features a ribbon bookmark.
