Publisher's Synopsis
Isa Genzken is arguably one of the most important and influential artists of the past 30 years. Genzken's work - which spans sculptures, paintings, photographs, collages, drawings, artist's books, films, installations and public sculptures - has been part of the artistic discourse since she began exhibiting in the mid-1970s, and a new generation of artists has been inspired by her radical inventiveness over the last decade - a period in which she has redefined assemblage. Published to accompany Genzken's first comprhensive retrospective in the USA, this book is the most complete monograph on the artist available in English. It present Genzken's career in essays exploring the unfolding of her practice from 1973 until today and an illustrated chronological overview of her most important bodies of work and key exhibitions.
