The American artist Lee Lozano (1930–1999) is one of her generation’s most striking voices despite her brief career.
The exhibition will show a large number of drawings from the period 1959–1962 when the drawing medium was the artist’s primary practice. Lozano’s art, which she created during approximately a decade, is sensational in its scope and distinctive energy and admired not least for its bold character and untiring exploration of the body and related issues of gender. Through her expression, Lozano stood out from the dominant cool conceptual art of her time, and instead fused art with life, images, and ideas in works characterized by a unique use of colour, language, and gesture.
