Summary:
"Long overdue, this monograph on Louise Fishman explores the artist's commitment to abstract painting across nearly five decades of boundary pushing work. Fishman is best known for her large-scale gestural absractions, which are at once energetic and orderly, technically masterful yet emotionally evocative. Accompanying the first-ever comprehensive museum survey of Fishman's paintings and drawings as well as a concurrent exhibition devoted to the artist's lesser-known work in small-scale painting and sculpture, this book presents the full story of the artist's roving explorations in abstraction, revealing the remarkable range of her material investigations."
