Lee Krasner

Exhibition at the Barbican, London, 30 May - 1 September 2019

Lee Krasner (1908-1984), one of the twentieth century's most inspiring women artists and a pioneer of abstract expressionism, became in 1984 one of the few women artists to have been given a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

This exhibition catalogue features an outstanding selection of her most important paintings, collages, and works on paper, contextualized by photography from the postwar period, an illustrated chronology, and an unpublished interview with her biographer Gail Levin.
