This comprehensive catalog of the work of the beloved artist Rose
Wylie over the last five years, highlighting her expansive oeuvre of
painting and drawing
"Wylie fearlessly tackles the thorniest topics head-on, committing her
thoughts and questions about politics, religion, fame, love, history,
money and nature to canvas." -- Charlotte Brook, Harper's Bazaar
Inspired by film, pop culture, and the history of fashion as she
experienced personally, Wylie harnesses a union of high and low culture
with a bold technique of mark making. Her unique practice of material
overlay and erasure creates fantastic compositions. Creating conceptual
tensions between formal and informal aesthetics, Wylie employs the
visual elements of text as formal details in her paintings.
With a beautiful swiss binding, this monograph compiles the work of four
exhibitions at David Zwirner offering a full breadth of Wylie's most
recent work to date. Giving insight and compassion to Wylie's feminist
and rebellious impulses, Judith Bernstein writes an accompanying text on
how she relates to Wylie's ambitious and playful energy. With a foreword
by Nicholas Serota, this publication also features new essays by Barry
Schwabsky and David Salle and an enlightening interview between the
artist and Hans Ulrich Obrist.
