In the late 1960s, Lee Lozano conceived of and executed a series of ‘Language Pieces’ written in the pages of her notebooks, consisting of rules and parameters for the actions that would constitute a piece. From offering money to house-guests to smoking as much marijuana as possible, Lozano boldly tested social norms, culminating in two of her most famous works: General Strike Piece (1969), which saw her retreating from the art world completely, and Decide to Boycott Women (1971), in which she ceased engaging with all members of her own gender.

Produced over the course of little more than a decade, Lee Lozano’s art is striking for its breadth and vigour. As well as paintings characterized by energy, daring physicality, and tireless investigation of the body and gender, Lozano’s oeuvre also includes conceptual works and drawings, the latter of which are the focus of this publication. A selection of the artist’s early narrative and figurative drawings from 1960 to 1964—all of which were previously unpublished—are presented alongside texts by Barry Rosen and Jaap van Liere, as well as extracts from the artist’s own diaries that capture the wit, intelligence, and anger that animated her brief yet profoundly influential career.

Henri Chopin was a little-known but significant figure of the French and British concrete poetry and lettrist movements. A curator, editor, musician and poet, he worked in a variety of materials, although his most notable works take the form of typewriter poems, each unique and influenced by the artist’s preoccupation with ideas of order and disorder; a result of his wartime experiences.

Brion Gysin was a British/Canadian painter, writer, sound poet, performance artist and inventor of experimental devices. He is best known for his use of the cut-up technique, alongside his close friend, the novelist William S. Burroughs. With the engineer Ian Sommerville he also invented the Dreamachine, a flicker device designed as an art object to be viewed with the eyes closed.

Produced on the occasion of Günther Förg’s exhibition at the Kunstverein Hannover und Orangerie Herrenhausen, 8 December, 1995–25 February, 1996.

Over a career spanning five decades, Günther Förg (1952–2013) developed a distinctive and prolific body of work, including experiments in abstraction and monochrome painting, against the general trend of figurative painting predominant in Germany in the 1980s. Wall paintings, sculptures, large format photographs, portraits and architectural views, as well as drawings and graphics, executed in a range of mediums, bear witness to the innovative diversity of the artist’s approach.
