Tyler School of Art is honored to welcome alumna Lisa Yuskavage back to campus on Thursday, November 12 at 6pm as we celebrate the publication of Lisa Yuskavage: The Brood, Paintings 1991-2015. This major monograph is complemented by a solo exhibition currently on view at The Rose Art Museum in Waltham, Massachussetts, which will travel to the Contemporary Art Museum in St. Louis in January. Please join us for Yuskavage’s discussion and book signing. Copies of Lisa Yuskavage: The Brood, Paintings 1991-2015 (Skira Rizzoli, 2015) will be available for purchase and signing at the end of the event provided by David Zwirner Books.
Yuskavage’s works are characterized by an ongoing engagement with the history of painting. Her oeuvre bears witness to a re-emergence of the figurative in contemporary painting and takes its point of departure in part in the immediacy and tawdriness of contemporary life spurred by the mass media and the psycho-social realm of the individual.
This event is supported by the Office of the Dean at Tyler School of Art and David Zwirner Gallery. Photo by EJ Camp,
