Simon, Joan: Lorna Simpson (Signed)

$190.00

2013

Signed.

Publisher: Delmonico / Prestel

This book offers a deep dive into the career of Lorna Simpson, a prolific conceptual artist who pairs photography with language to challenge stereotypes and examine issues of identity, race, gender, and memory. By obscuring her subjects and withholding clear narratives, Simpson resists conventional modes of representation. Her frequent use of repetition and fragmented imagery, combined with ambiguous text, disrupts easy interpretation and encourages viewers to confront their own assumptions about visibility, history, and meaning.

Includes essays by Joan Simon, Elvan Zabunyan, Marta Gili, Thomas J. Lax, and Naomi Beckwith, followed by an interview with Joan Simon.

Condition: Hardcover. In very good condition. Signed on the half title page. Pages are in crisp, clean condition.
