Luchita Hurtado

Throughout her career, Hurtado has created an extensive body of paintings, drawings and prints that bear witness to a dedicated and intense engagement with the world around her. This is the first comprehensive and fully-illustrated publication on the artist’s practice, which follows the trajectory of her work through a selection of newly-commissioned texts and images of all works in the exhibition. Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer has written a contextual survey of the artist’s career and its unique course; artist Andrea Bowers has written a text on ‘The Equanimity of Luchita Hurtado’; Hurtado’s son, artist Matt Mullican, has written a series of short vignettes about his mother, whilst Barbara Stauffacher Solomon has provided a written response to an archival photograph, attesting to a lifelong friendship with Hurtado that has transcended their respective artistic practices. The book features a new interview between Hurtado and Hans Ulrich Obrist, and an extensive timeline on the artist’s life.
