A stunning new monograph dedicated to recent work by American artist Pat Steir, counted among the great innovators of contemporary painting. This illustrated monograph features the most recent paintings by renowned American artist Pat Steir (b. 1938). Recognized for her iconic 'Waterfall' paintings of poured and cascaded paint that challenge and transcend the divide between figuration and abstraction, Steir's enduringly original paintings, drawings, prints, and installations have been exhibited internationally since the early 1960s. This book encompasses a generative period of the eighty-seven-year-old artist's paintings, which included her largest installation to date-organized by the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.-where Steir transformed the museum's circular gallery into an immersive 'Color Wheel.' A transcript of a conversation between the artist and curator Evelyn C. Hankins is published here, alongside images of Steir's innovative exhibition. In 2019 the Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia, presented Steir's site-specific installation, 'Silent Secret Waterfalls.' This suite of lyrical paintings evoking wind and water is also memorialized in this book, which opens with a poetic reflection from award-winning author Colm Tóibín on this remarkable chapter of Steir's art.
