Nicole Eisenman: What Happened

Eisenman's most comprehensive monograph to date, traversing 30 years of the artist's engagement with the technological, political and social changes that have shaped our lives. From drawing and painting to printmaking and sculpture, the work of Nicole Eisenman (born 1965) combines formal experimentation with wide-ranging references to art history. Her critical and often humorous commentary on the ever-changing nature of public life consistently challenges power structures and normative conceptions of gender. Nicole Eisenman: What Happened documents the breadth of the artist's career with over 200 color illustrations, explored in 10 newly commissioned texts. Essays by curators Mark Godfrey and Monika Bayer-Wermuth survey developments in Eisenman's work since the 1990s, while Chloe Wyma considers Eisenman's recent engagements with national and institutional politics.
