Robert Storr's new and archival writings on Nancy Spero, the Artist of Feminism (New York Times)
Following previous anthologies on Bruce Nauman, Ad Reinhardt and Jasper Johns, Robert Storr, former Senior Curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, returns with the next volume in his Focal Points series--his collected writings on American artist Nancy Spero (1926-2009). Internationally recognized for her innovative scroll-like works on paper and multi-panel installations, Spero expanded the possibilities of art by subverting received notions of time, space and representation. Discussing pivotal works such as the War series, Codex Artaud and Notes in Time, Storr evinces (as put by series editor Francesca Pietropaolo) the norm-breaking and open-ended quality of Spero's oeuvre, underlying its ability to embrace contradiction.
