Linda Lighton: Love and War
A Fifty Year Survey, 1975-2025
For fifty years, American artist Linda Lighton has created a powerful body of subversive ceramic sculptures that explore desire in all its complex forms. This monographic catalogue marks the first substantial survey of her pioneering work, which uses wit and seduction as conceptual weaponry to mine the relationship between sex, power, and politics.
description
Linda Lighton: Love and War is a richly illustrated monograph that gives a comprehensive overview of Linda Lighton’s pioneering career. The book delves into the ways that her highly original and often rebellious work pushes the boundaries of ceramic sculpture. Accompanied by new scholarship on the artist’s practice, this publication situates her sculptures – which use a feminist visual language to address social issues, such as gun violence, environmental degradation and gender conformity – within the context of broader art-historical developments.
