Nancy Spero

Now available for pre-order, this volume brings together Robert Storr’s writings on the work of American painter, collage and installation artist Nancy Spero, coinciding with the centenary of the artist’s birth. 

Discussing pivotal works such as the War Series, Codex Artaud and Notes in Time, Storr – as Pietropaolo notes in her introduction – ‘illuminates the norm-breaking and open-ended quality of Spero’s oeuvre, underlying its ability to embrace contradiction’ and collapse ‘hierarchies among media … and dichotomies between the hand-made and the photo-mechanical, power and fragility, the permanent and the ephemeral.’
