Lee Lozano: Private Book 11 – ARTBOOK|D.A.P.

The final pocket-size facsimile edition of Lozano�s journals, replete with drawings, diagrams and gutsy aphorismsLee Lozano (1930�99) worked primarily in painting, often integrating textual elements and roving restlessly across modes that could be categorized as Surrealism, Pop, Post-Minimalism, Conceptualism and abstraction, all the while shirking any easy definitions. Last added to on January 27, 1972, this is the final volume in a set of 11 facsimile editions of Lozano�s journals. Her brief entries, punctuated by drawings and diagrams, are knife-sharp with a poetic cadence. In one from September 24, 1970, she addresses the Whitney Museum of American Art: �HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE ON THE RECEIVING END OF DISRESPECT (ARTIST ? MUSEUM).� Another asks: �IS THIS TOO STRONG FOR LOVE?� These pocket-size notebooks, which contain musings on topics spanning her own work to her scheduled rendezvous to her dreams, provide a portrait of one of the most enigmatic, mercurial figures in the history of art.
