A richly illustrated exploration of Hannah Wilke's provocative art
and trailblazing feminism One of the most groundbreaking artists to
emerge in American art in the 1960s, Hannah Wilke consistently
challenged the prevailing narratives of women's bodies and their
representation throughout her career, until her untimely death in
1993. Wilke established a uniquely feminist iconography in
virtually all of the mediums she engaged with-painting, sculpture,
photography, video, and performance art-and offered a
life-affirming expression of vitality and bodily pleasure in her
work. Hannah Wilke: Art for Life's Sake highlights the artist's
full range of expression, bringing together photographs, works on
paper, video, and examples of Wilke's sculptures in clay and other,
nonconventional materials such as latex, kneaded erasers, and
chewing gum. New object photography brings clarity to Wilke's
boundary-crossing art practice, making many of her rarely shown
works accessible to readers for the first time. The book features a
previously unpublished 1975 interview with Wilke by art critic and
historian Cindy Nemser as well as a narrative chronology of Wilke's
art and life with many previously unpublished archival photographs.
It includes essays by Glenn Adamson, Connie Butler, and Tamara
Schenkenberg, and responses to Wilke's work by contemporary artists
Hayv Kahraman, Nadia Myre, Jeanine Oleson, and Catherine Opie.
Offering fresh perspectives on this influential artist, Hannah
Wilke: Art for Life's Sake sheds new light on Wilke's technical and
formal virtuosity, her important role in shaping postwar American
art, and the nuance and poignancy of her feminist subject matter.
