| | | Luchita Hurtado: I Live I Die I Will Be RebornEdited by Joseph Constable, Rebecca Lewin. Text by Andrea Bowers, Michael Govan, Juan A. Gaitán, Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer, Marie Heilich, Matt Mullican, Yana Peel, Barbara Stauffacher Solomon. Interview by Hans Ulrich Obrist.
 The first monograph on Los Angeles legend Luchita Hurtado, whose colorful, surrealist paintings are now garnering recognition after decades on the fringesAt 98 years old, Luchita Hurtado (born 1929) is finally gaining mainstream recognition for the bright, geometric patterns and the surrealist nature scenes of her virbant paintings, but the Venezuela-born, California-based artist is no stranger to the art world. Though she once rubbed elbows with the likes of Frida Kahlo and Marcel Duchamp early on in her career, Hurtado now has the spotlight to herself, with solo exhibitions in Los Angeles and London, and this very first comprehensive, fully illustrated monograph detailing her artistic process and the prolific output of work from throughout her career.
In addition to reproductions of Hurtado's strikingly contemporary drawings and paintings, Luchita Hurtado: I Live I Die I Will Be Reborn also includes a series of vignettes penned by Hurtado's son, the artist Matt Mullican, as well as an interview between the artist and Hans Ulrich Obrist.
"Untitled" (1966) is reproduced from 'Luchita Hurtado: I Live I Die I Will Be Reborn.'PRAISE AND REVIEWSHyperallergic Ilene Dube For years, Hurtado worked quietly, even if prolifically. At 98 years old, she’s getting her due at the Serpentine Gallery. Artforum Yxta Maya Murray The art of Luchita Hurtado [...] teaches us that, whether just standing in our living rooms or wandering aimlessly around the kitchen, we are as alive as we will ever be—that every passing moment is an opportunity to reach for the sublime. LA Weekly Shana Nys Dambrot Honoring the fascinating life of painter Luchita Hurtado (1920–2020), this is an intimate portrait in her own words and extensive material from her studio’s archive. Hurtado’s story spans from Venezuela to New York, California to New Mexico and follows her friendships with renowned artists and intellectuals – from the Mexican muralists, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. |

"Life with my mother has always been enlightening," he concludes. "She has always engaged us in a world that lays beyond the world that we see around us." continue to blog | |  | Hauser & Wirth PublishersISBN: 9783906915609
