Author Description

This catalogue features full plate images, details, and installation photographs of this impactful exhibition of the artist's seminal work. Created in 1997-98, a point of transition in the Williams' oeuvre, these paintings illustrate her introduction of abstraction as a tool to mask very visceral components with elegant shapes and contours. Her abstraction of the human experience captures the essence of sexuality, violence, delight, and irony. Williams' paintings mark her innovative approach and show her artistic practice as ahead of its time. Exhibition: Skarstedt Fine Art, New York, USA (22.02.-21.04.2018)
