| book description |

Examines both the art-historical framework of Tomma Abtsâ€™s painting as well as its deep philosophical and psychological dimensions With a rigorous approach and self-imposed limitations to both scale and composition, Tomma Abts (b. 1967) has reinvigorated painterly abstraction and its relevance within contemporary art. Using a fixed canvas size and a vertical format, AbtsÂ deploys basic formal elements such as arcs, circles, planes, and stripes to create powerful works that are at once subtle and eccentric. This extraordinary book, designed in collaboration with the artist herself, is a substantial and deeply insightful treatment of her career to date and features sixty works made over the pastÂ decade. Essays not only contextualize Abtsâ€™s work within an art-historical framework of methods, process, and style, but also examine her paintingsâ€™ philosophical and psychological dimensions and their embodiment of a creative process that transcends the specifics of any particular work.Â Â Distributed for the Art Institute of Chicago Exhibition Schedule: Serpentine Galleries, London (06/06/18â€“09/09/18) Â Art Institute of Chicago (10/18/18â€“02/17/19)
