Before her self-imposed exile from the art world, Lee Lozano (1930 99) was a highly regarded painter who defined a generation of American artists infusing conceptualism with a new intensity. A prolific writer and documenter of both her art and her relationships, the public and private, Lozano kept a series of personal journals from 1968 to 1972 while living in New York's SoHo neighborhood.
Eleven of these private books survive, containing notes on her work, detailed interactions with artist friends and commentary on the alienations of gender politics, as well as philosophical queries into art's role in society and humorous asides from daily life.
In the decade before her infamous dropout piece culminating in a move to Dallas where she would remain until her death Lozano returned to these notebooks, editing the entries, sometimes blacking out entire pagesPrivate Book 1 is the first in the series of 11 pocket-sized books, which are printed as facsimiles.
