From JRP|Editions:
This monograph on Rosemarie Castoro (1939–2015) spans the New York-based artist’s entire practice. She called herself a “paintersculptor,” and is known for her singular take on the modernist narratives of Minimal and Conceptual art. In her SoHo loft—where artists such as Lawrence Weiner, Sol LeWitt, Agnes Martin, Carl Andre, and Yvonne Rainer met—she developed a willfully complex practice, emphasizing the analytical and inter-personal, and favoring transgression and metamorphosis over orthodoxy and linear progression. She was a central figure of the New York scene of the 1960s and 1970s, participating in numerous landmark exhibitions, and appearing in several of Rainer’s performances.
Designed by Gavillet & Cie, the book uses François Rappo’s Tiny Gothic.
