Summary:
"Introducing Suzy Lake is the first publication to comprehensively address Detroit-born artist, Suzy Lake's extraordinary artistic production from the late 1960s to today. Lake--an intelligent and influential artist working in performance, photography and video--is a prescient image-maker who interrogates ideas of beauty, ageing and the self. This multi-author publication considers how Lake's ideas and practice developed over time from her hometown of Detroit to Montreal to Toronto, informed by the cultural character of each city." -- From the publisher's description.
