Maria Lassnig: The Biography

Baldwin Lee
By Sarah MorozThe monograph includes a selection of atmospheric images and graceful portraits of Black communities in the American South. Lee made these images conscientiously, knowing that there was no way to circumvent the charged and often ugly history of this American panorama.
Bettina
By Noa WesleyThe desire to archive her own work, which undergirded the philosophy of much of her photographic practice, became a necessity and a means of surviving as an artist. A selection of these portfolios are reproduced in Bettina and their sleek, simple design style informs the zine-like feel of this expansive book.
