This career-spanning volume documents the first museum retrospective devoted to the work of Mary Weatherford, a daring practitioner of American abstraction and a leading painter of her generation.Over the last three decades, Mary Weatherford has developed a rich and diverse painting practice, from her early 1990s target paintings based on operatic heroines, to the expansive, gestural canvases overlaid with neon glass-tubing that brought attention to her practice in the 2010s. Mary Weatherford: Canyon--Daisy--Eden presents a survey of Weatherford's career, drawing from several distinct bodies of work made between 1989 and 2017. As constant experiments with color, scale, and materials, these works as a whole reveal the continuity of Weatherford's interest in human experience, both personal and historical.Featuring 120 full-color plates and expansive installation views, this volume--published by Gagosian in association with the Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College--documents an exhibition presented at the Tang and at SITE Santa Fe.
