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.

Lee Lozano (1930–1999) is considered one of the most innovative artists to have worked in America during the second half of the twentieth century. Throughout her oeuvre, which spans a little more than a decade, she produced groundbreaking work in a progression of styles, from the figurative and cartoonish pop-expressionism, through serial minimalism, to language-based conceptual pieces. Her short-lived but influential career remains a source of fascination that continues to have a profound impact on many contemporary artists.

Lucrezia Calabrò Visconti is a curator and art writer, currently serving as the Chief Curator and Head of the Curatorial Department at Pinacoteca Agnelli in Turin.
