Description
Christina Ramberg: A Retrospective explores the life and work of American artist Christina Ramberg (1946-1995). This comprehensive study considers the full scope of her practice, from intimate early scrapbooks and drawings to late-career geometric abstractions. The book features never-before-published diaries, sketchbooks, slides, and ephemera, providing an unprecedentedly full picture of Ramberg's lifelong fascination with patterns and formal variation. Ramberg's artistic vision was shaped by a wide range of popular and art-historical sources, resulting in works that are both highly polished and enigmatic. The book includes the first substantive discussion of her often-overlooked quiltmaking and situates her within her Chicago-based network of colleagues, approaching her work from various perspectives such as gender and sexual identity, artistic craft, and pedagogical practice. This lavishly illustrated volume is a valuable contribution to our understanding of Ramberg's impact on 20th-century art.
