Liz Deschenes | Liz Deschenes, Eva Respini, Lynne Tillman | An Art Book Series Event

The only comprehensive monograph devoted exclusively to “one of the quiet giants of post-conceptual photography” (The New York Times), Liz Deschenes celebrates the artist’s twenty-year career with immaculately produced images, an interview with Deschenes, and critical essays.

Since the mid-1990s, Liz Deschenes’s work has evolved as a stripping away of photography’s inherent interference with its subjects. Making use of the medium’s most fundamental aspects—paper, light, chemicals—she produces camera-less pieces that not only remind viewers of photography’s essential goal of reflecting light and color but also expand its scope into the realm of sculpture. Filled with dazzling reproductions of Deschenes’s installations and lush work, this book includes her key bodies of works, from early color studies to recent hybrid photo-sculptural installations that playfully interact with their environment. An interview captures Deschenes’s voice and point of view and a series of critical essays rounds out this unparalleled exploration of an exciting, boundary-pushing artist working at the height of her powers.
