One of the most groundbreaking artists to emerge in American art in the 1960s, Hannah Wilke consistently challenged the prevailing narratives of women' s bodies and their representation throughout her career, until her untimely death in 1993. Wilke established a uniquely feminist iconography in virtually all of the mediums she engaged with-painting, sculpture, photography, video, and performance art- and offered a life-affirming expression of vitality and bodily pleasure in her work. Hannah Wilke: Art for Life' s Sake highlights the artist' s full range of expression, bringing together photographs, works on paper, video, and examples of Wilke' s sculptures in clay and other, nonconventional materials such as latex, kneaded erasers, and chewing gum. New object photography brings clarity to Wilke' s boundary-crossing art practice, making many of her rarely shown works accessible to readers for the first time. The book features a previously unpublished 1975 interview with Wilke by art critic and historian Cindy Nemser as well as a narrative chronology of Wilke' s art and life with many previously unpublished archival photographs. It includes essays by Glenn Adamson, Connie Butler, and Tamara Schenkenberg, and responses to Wilke' s work by contemporary artists Hayv Kahraman, Nadia Myre, Jeanine Oleson, and Catherine Opie. Offering fresh perspectives on this influential artist, Hannah Wilke: Art for Life' s Sake sheds new light on Wilke' s technical and formal virtuosity, her important role in shaping postwar American art, and the nuance and poignancy of her feminist subject matter.
