Yasar, Begum; Courtney J Martin; Anne Waldman; Sylvère Lotringer - Pat Steir

New York, Levy Gorvy, 2017. Hardcover. Hardcover with Tan cloth wrap and full color paper dustjacket. 179 pages : numerous color illustrations. This book explores Pat Steir's most recent Kairos series of immersive paintings. The series evolved out of Steir's seminal Waterfall paintings, which proved her medium could express itself as something non-objective. As early as 1987, Steir poured, threw, or dragged mixtures of pigment across her canvases, shifting her focus to the natural movements of paint applied to canvas rather than deliberate mark-making. The book offers an intimate introduction to Steir's most recent paintings and includes a conversation between Steir and Sylvère Lotringer, the founder of Semiotext(e), as well as three poems that Steir published in the"Schizo-Culture" issue of the magazine; Trance Abyss, a poem by Anne Waldman; an essay by art historian and curator Courtney J. Martin; a detailed chronology illustrated by archival images; and high-quality photographs of Lévy Gorvy's installations in both New York (currently on view), and London (2016). VG+ .
