Summary:

"American artist Lee Lozano (1930-1999) produced a body of work of striking breadth and complexity, ranging from raucous figurative drawings and minimalist abstract paintings to the daring 'Life-Art' pieces for which she is most celebrated. In this guide to the artist's life and work, Lucrezia Calabrò Visconti examines the full force of Lozano's singular practice and her radical refusal to conform to what was expected of her - in art or in life - culminating in her final conceptual gesture: a total withdrawal from the art world"--Page 4 of cover.
