Lee Krasner: Collage Paintings 1938-1981
-
Kasmin is delighted to announce the publication of Lee Krasner: Collage Paintings 1938–1981. The fully-illustrated catalogue features 12 color plates as well as newly commissioned texts by author and essayist Siri Hustvedt and art historian Saskia Flower. To be published on May 10, 2021, the catalogue provides original insights into Krasner’s fierce and tireless self-examination. This practice, which compelled the artist to destroy previous works and reconstitute their elements into new compositions, resulted in some of the artist’s most conceptual and emotionally-charged works.
This catalogue is published on the occasion of our exhibition Lee Krasner: Collage Paintings 1938–1981, on view at 509 West 27th Street through April 24, 2021, in collaboration with the Pollock-Krasner Foundation.

About the Artist
Lee Krasner
A pioneer among the first generation of Abstract Expressionism, Lee Krasner developed novel approaches to painting and collage for over half a century, demonstrating an endless drive for experimentation and reinvention. Widely recognized as a central protagonist among a cohort of artists that define postwar American painting, Krasner was subject to a critically-acclaimed major touring European institutional retrospective organized by the Barbican Art Gallery in 2019–21, followed by a solo exhibition at the Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum in 2023. She was subject to two touring US institutional retrospectives in 1984–85 and 1999–2001. Her work is held in premier institutions worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, among many others.
