An illuminating study of an overlooked artist from the 1960s whose
work has recently returned to the limelight This is the first
in-depth study of the idiosyncratic ten-year career of Lee Lozano
(1930-1999), assuring this important artist a key place in
histories of post-war art. The book charts the entirety of Lozano's
production in 1960s New York, from her raucous drawings and
paintings depicting broken tools, genitalia, and other body parts
to the final exhibition of her spectacular series of abstract "Wave
Paintings" at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1970. Highly
regarded at the time, Lozano is now perhaps best known for Dropout
Piece (1970), a conceptual artwork and dramatic gesture with which
she quit the art world. Shortly afterwards she announced she would
have no further contact with other women. Her "dropout" and
"boycott of women" lasted until her death, by which time she was
all but forgotten. This book tackles head-on the challenges that
Lozano poses to art history-and especially to feminist art
history-attending to her failures as well as her successes, and
arguing that through dead ends and impasses she struggled to forge
an alternative mode of living. Lee Lozano: Not Working looks for
the means to think about complex figures like Lozano whose radical,
politically ambiguous gestures test our assumptions about feminism
and the "right way" to live and work.
