Joyce Kozloff: Co-Ordinates

About this book

Joyce Kozloff: Co-Ordinates considers the New York-based artists paintings and works on paper--which employ the formal structure and conventions of cartography to examine issues of power gender and global politics--from the late 1990s to the present. This is the first book to consider Kozloffs work since the late 1990s within the broader context of her career and the history of map-related art. Charting her influential contribution to the Pattern and Decoration movement--which was an integral part of the downtown New York art scene of the 1970s--the volume also explores Kozloffs later large-scale public artworks. Fifty full-color photo spreads are dedicated to key projects--Targets Boys Art American History and Voyages--and accompanied by an essay by critic Nancy Princenthal and an interview with the artist. Joyce Kozloff is a founding member of the Pattern and Decoration movement and the Heresies collective and is a primary figure in the feminist art world.
