Lee Lozano, Language Pieces

Lee Lozano (November 5, 1930 – October 2, 1999) was an American painter, and visual and conceptual artist. She rapidly rose to recognition in a male-dominated art scene that was rebelling against abstract expressionism. In 1972, she decided to drop out of it and cease making art. In the twelve years of her short career, she developed and executed an independent and radical artistic oeuvre that was often provocative, visceral, and uncompromising.

This book contains her language pieces. Some are lists, some are instructions, and some are the building blocks of performance pieces. After publishing our book for our Lee Lozano exhibition, Slip Slide Splice in 2017, we decided to launch this second book solely on the artist's language pieces. Lozano's hand written and sometimes typed notes read like a working instruction book of her work. Some of her pieces appeared in experimental magazines in the 1960s and 1970s, but most of her Language Pieces have never been published before. 

This was a limited print run.
