Author: Krasner, Lee
Replete with 18 colour plates, related archival material and newly commissioned texts, this catalogue foregrounds a rarely examined chapter of Krasner’s five-decade career. Beyond the scope of an exhibition catalogue, the book takes its reader behind Krasner’s paintings to provide never-before-published visual evidence regarding these early works. It positions these works in relation to Krasner’s contemporaries including Jackson Pollock and Piet Mondrian.The early works of Abstract Expressionist pioneer Lee Krasner, in her first solo exhibition in 1951, emphasised geometric relations. But during this same period, Krasner would often destroy or paint over her canvases to create new works. In a special and ambitious exhibition, Kasmin reunites the only two surviving paintings from her first solo show, displayed together for the first time in over 70 years.
ISBN 9781947232020. Kasmin Books. pb. 88 pages. 35 colour, 12 b/w ills. 28.6 x 24.1 cm.
