This monograph is the first to present a comprehensive, career-spanning account of Rick Lowe’s art and social practice. Through works of “social sculpture” undertaken over three decades, the Houston-based artist has developed new paradigms for artists to engage in collaborative and transformative dialogues in local communities around the world, while his recent abstract canvases use paint and collage to meditate on conceptual and communal themes.

 

Edited by Dieter Roelstraete, curator at the Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society at the University of Chicago, and Gagosian director Antwaun Sargent, the publication is fully illustrated with paintings and documentation of projects from the past three decades.

 

Contributions by Allison Glenn, Rick Lowe, Valerie Cassel Oliver, Fani Paraforou, Dieter Roelstraete, Sydney Stutterheim, Abigail Winograd, and Tara Zahra.
