Book Description

Throughout her career, Hurtado has created an extensive body of paintings, drawings and prints that bear witness to a dedicated and intense engagement with the world around her. This is the ?rst comprehensive and fully-illustrated publication on the artist?s practice, which follows the trajectory of her work through a selection of newly-commissioned texts and images of all works in the exhibition. Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer has written a contextual survey of the artist?s career and its unique course; artist Andrea Bowers has written a text on ?The Equanimity of Luchita Hurtado?; Hurtado?s son, artist Matt Mullican, has written a series of short vignettes about his mother, whilst Barbara Stauffacher Solomon has provided a written response to an archival photograph, attesting to a lifelong friendship with Hurtado that has transcended their respective artistic practices. The book features a new interview between Hurtado and Hans Ulrich Obrist, and an extensive timeline on the artist?s life.00Exhibition: Serpentine Galleries, London, UK (23.05. - 20.10.2019).
