Representing five years of individual labor, this groundbreaking work subverted standards of art by introducing glass beads as a fine art material. The project blurred the rigid boundary between fine art and craft, and established Lou's long-standing exploration of materiality, process, and beauty. Working within a craft métier has led the artist to work in a variety of socially engaged settings, from community groups in Los Angeles, to a collective she founded in Durban, South Africa. Over the past fifteen years, Lou has focused on a poetic approach to abstraction as a way to highlight the process underlying her work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this comprehensive volume that considers the entirety of Lou's singular vision, curators, art historians, and artists offer important perspectives on the breadth of the work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGlenn Adamson\u003c\/b\u003e is a curator and writer who works at the intersection of craft, design history, and contemporary art.\u003cb\u003e Julia Bryan-Wilson\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of modern and contemporary art at the University of California, Berkeley. \u003cb\u003eDr. Cathleen Chaffee\u003c\/b\u003e is chief curator of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo.\u003cb\u003e Elisabeth Sherman\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.\u003cb\u003e Carrie Mae Weems\u003c\/b\u003e is an artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 296\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 12 x 9.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 27, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175178387705,"sku":"9780847870752","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/bVdZNVhHM0FIcWlUNmRid1VUVUpoQT09.webp?v=1767662021","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/liza-lou-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
