Maria Lassnig Accompanies the Exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery, London [25 Apr - 8 Jun 2008]
Born in 1919, Viennese artist Maria Lassnig--who coined the phrase "body-awareness painting"--uses bold forms and strong colors to create portraits and semi-figurative abstractions. This volume, with texts by Robert Storr, Jennifer Higgie and Paul McCarthy, includes a selection of sensational, fresh and vibrant works from the last three years.
