Magali Lara: Five Decades in Spiral - Paperback

by Magali Lara (Artist), Maggie Borowitz (Text by (Art/Photo Books)), Cuauhtémoc Medina (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

A "reverse retrospective" of Magali Lara's painting practice, from two new site-specific murals to her first drawings made in the 1970s and 1980s

In both painting and drawing, Mexican artist Magali Lara (born 1956) maintains an interest in negative space. Her work questions the meanings of blank spaces and our ways of denoting the imperceptible silences between brushstrokes and gestures, as well as the miniscule gaps between words and images.
