Monograph on the life and work of an outstanding abstract expressionist painter, who emerges as one of the most important female artists of the 20th century. Lee Krasner, a pioneer of Abstract Expressionism, was one of the few female artists to be the subject of a retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This volume includes a selection of the artist's most important paintings, collages, and works on paper; essays on her life and art by Eleanor Nairne, Katy Siegel, John Yau, and Suzanne Hudson; an interview with her biographer, Gail Levin; and a fully illustrated chronology.
