Whether painting large-scale abstract canvases, levering an hydraulic press to create prints of industrial waste, or fighting for artists rights, Pat Durr tackles art-making and activism with unrivaled vigor. This first career monograph features several decades of Durr's work, from early drawings of the 1960s, to explosive multi-panel paintings from the 1980s, as well as her large-scale calligraphic monoprints. Grounded in a foundation of Abstract Expressionism, Durr's practice merges autobiographical symbols with social critique. While navigating between distinct media, she has engaged with subject matter ranging from overt political commentary, to the destruction of environmental habitats, to a more concentrated interest in the waste produced and consumed by society; all intermingled with personal experiences and narratives.
