The radical painter-conceptualist reviewed, from strike pieces to tool paintings
This volume brings together a broad selection of the work of artist Lee Lozano (1930-99), representing the whole of her brief but prolific career. Trained as a painter, Lozano made a name for herself in the New York art world of the 1960s with a versatile output comprising painting on the one hand and conceptual practice on the other.
While working in the social and artistic context of the time, Lozano maintained a position radically opposed to any form of categorization. Strike surveys the different periods of her work, from figurative drawings and paintings in an Expressionist style to the large oils on canvas titled Tool Paintings, and following their formal evolution toward minimalist abstraction. The project also includes a selection of her Language Pieces, works that mark the artist's shift to an exclusively conceptual phase that reached its conclusion in 1972 with Dropout Piece.
