Description
Book SynopsisA sumptuously illustrated monograph of American artist Pat Steir's work from 2018 until the present day.Pat Steir is best known for the pouring technique she first innovated in the 1980s, in which she harnesses the forces of gravity, gesture, time and the materiality of paint, achieving works of astonishing lyricism that are landscapes in and of themselves. Considered as one of the great innovators of contemporary painting who challenged the postwar American canon, Steir's practice remains limitless. This book immerses readers in Steir's textural, inventive approach to painting and color and includes an essay by writer Colm Tóibín reflecting on her practice. Pat Stier: Paintings' is the first in a new series from Hauser & Wirth Publishers of monographs dedicated to Contemporary Masters.'
