In the Studio is a new series from Hauser & Wirth Publishers designed to appeal to art lovers and newcomers alike. Written by leading scholars and critics, each book offers a generously illustrated, compact overview of a major artist’s art and ideas. Whether it is to gain insider knowledge or to experience their work for the first time, these handsome, pocket-sized books take you into their world and studio practice. The first three editions focus on celebrated British sculptor Phyllida Barlow (1944 – 2023), the pioneering abstract painter Jack Whitten (1939 – 2018), and the conceptual artist Lee Lozano (1930 – 1999). Forthcoming releases in the series will offer insights into the studio practice of contemporary Belgian artist Berlinde De Bruyckere, followed by American master Paul McCarthy and a study of art-historical icon Louise Bourgeois.

This richly illustrated companion to Jack Whitten’s life and work provides fascinating insights into the creation of his pioneering artworks. A new text by critic Yinka Elujoba spans the breadth of Whitten’s wide-ranging practice—where he found inspiration, glimpses of his thoughts jotted down in studio logs, as well as the unconventional tools and materials he embraced—while archi- val images and a detailed timeline offer an intimate window into the artist’s life.

The third volume in the In the Studio series looks at the daring and provocative paintings, drawings and conceptual work of Lee Lozano. This compact introduction features an illuminating text by Lucrezia Calabrò Visconti—co-curator of ‘Lee Lozano: Strike,’ an important survey exhibition that travelled from Turin’s Pinacoteca Agnelli to the Bourse de Commerce— Pinault Collection in Paris—exploring her notebooks and life-projects, richly illustrated with a wealth of archival material.

 

 

With these books, we’re thrilled to put the world of an artist and their ideas into your pocket. Concise, insightful and full of the most wonderful images, they go behind the scenes to unlock the inspiration of an artist’s studio for all to discover and enjoy.
