Description
Hannah Wilke: Art for Life's Sake is a richly illustrated exploration of the provocative art and trailblazing feminism of American artist Hannah Wilke. Wilke consistently challenged the prevailing narratives of women's bodies and their representation throughout her career, using painting, sculpture, photography, video, and performance art to offer a life-affirming expression of vitality and bodily pleasure. This book brings together photographs, works on paper, video, and examples of Wilke's sculptures in clay and other unconventional materials, shedding new light on her technical and formal virtuosity. Featuring previously unpublished archival photographs, essays by Glenn Adamson, Connie Butler, and Tamara Schenkenberg, and responses to Wilke's work by contemporary artists Hayv Kahraman,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, the book offers fresh perspectives on this influential artist.
