Artbook @ Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles Bookstore presents Frances Stark & Anthony Graham on 'Alexis Smith: The American Way'

Published to accompany a major retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego, on view through February 26, 2023, The American Way is the first comprehensive monograph on Alexis Smith in thirty years, and presents the full range of the artist's dynamic output, from her intimate artist books and collages to large wall paintings and installations. Providing new insights into Smith's work, this volume connects the themes that have persisted throughout the artist's career, from her exploration of identity and self-invention to her preoccupation with stereotypes and clichés in film and literature.
