Laura Owens

Since first coming into prominence in the ’90s and early 2000s, Laura Owens’s work has offered a set of wholly new and critical ideas about painting. Propelled by the conviction that her work should prompt difficult questions about the nature of painting, Owens distinguishes her work by refusing to commit to one artistic identity. This volume - modeled after the seminal book on Pablo Picasso's sketchbooks 'Je Suis Le Cahier: The Sketchbooks of Picasso' published in 1986 - brings together a range of critical and creative voices to consider her practice in depth. - Inner jacket.
