Description: "A comprehensive look at the work of Rose Wylie over the last five years, this catalogue highlights Wylie's expansive oeuvre of painting and drawing. Inspired by film, pop culture, and the history of fashion as she experienced personally, Wylie harnesses a union of high and low culture with a bold technique of mark making. Her unique practice of material overlay and erasure creates fantastic compositions. Creating conceptual tensions between formal and informal aesthetics, Wylie employs the visual elements of text as formal details in her paintings. With a beautiful swiss binding, this monograph compiles the work of four exhibitions at David Zwirner offering a full breadth of Wylie's most recent work to date. Giving insight and compassion to Wylie's feminist and rebellious impulses, Judith Bernstein writes an accompanying text on how she relates to Wylie's ambitious and playful energy. This publication also features a new essay by Barry Schwabsky and an enlightening interview between the artist and Hans Ulrich Obrist"--
