In the Studio: Lee Lozano

An in-depth introduction of Lee Lozanos energetic, radical and daring practice. Lauded as the foremost female conceptual artist of her time, Lee Lozano 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 artists work. Authored by Lucrezia Calabr Visconti, curator of the traveling exhibition Lee Lozano: Strike (Pinacoteca Agnelli, Turin, 2023; Bourse de Commerce, Pinault Collection, Paris, 202324) the book explores the themes of the body and issues of gender that Lozano investigated in her paintings with an unconstrained physicality. 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 capitalisms demand for constant production.
