Description

Liat Yossifors first artist monograph focuses on a series of ever-evolving grey paintings she produced from 2011-2016. Employing a time-based process to create these works, she continuously scrapes, sculpts, and re-works the paint until it hardens on the surface.Of the works here, Yossifor has said,The grey is so much more for me. The grey is the result of color being consumed, of constant editing. The grey is the result of a thousand paintings that got destroyed in the process of making a single one.Yossiforwas recently profiled byModern Paintersas an artist to watch for 2016and this year has exhibitionsin New York; Frankfurt, Germany; Guadalajaraand Chicago. The book includes essays by Karen Lang, Christopher Michno, Stella Rollig and Ed Schadand was designed byaward-winning Vienna-based graphic artistPeter Duniecki.
