RAQUEL RABINOVICH (Contemporary Artists Collection)

Art. Literary Nonfiction. Latino/Latina Studies. Poetry. This artist-approved publication features the work of celebrated Argentinean-born artist Raquel Rabinovich , and includes photographs of her rock sculpture, watercolors, urban installations, and works using pencil on specially selected papers. Exquisitely designed by Susan Quasha with essays by art critic and curator Linda Weintraub and poet/artist George Quasha, and a poem by Charles Stein selected by the artist. The texts discuss the artist's work from 1963, when she began her lifelong investigations into the nature of existence through an exploration of what she calls "the dark," that which is "concealed beneath the surface of objects, of words, of thoughts, of the world." In her work Rabinovich speaks a language where the fine line between inner and outer turns transparent.
