Miss Swiss is the most comprehensive monograph to date on Los Angeles–based artist Lisa Lapinski, celebrated for her formally complex sculpture in a variety of mediums—including wood, wire, cement and clay—in addition to painting, photography, drawing and found material, often containing philosophical and historical references.

Published on the occasion of Lisa Lapinski: Drunk Hawking, her 2020 midcareer survey at the Visual Arts Center (VAC) at the University of Texas at Austin, Lisa Lapinski: Miss Swiss includes previously unpublished images of Lapinski’s exhibitions and artworks from 2000 to the present. It also features contributions by Bruce Hainley, Graham Bader, Kyle Dancewicz, Sabrina Tarasoff and MacKenzie Stevens, as well as a conversation between the artist and linguist Viola Schmitt.

Lisa Lapinski is an artist living and working in Houston, Texas. She received her BA from University of California, San Diego, an MFA from Art Center College of Design and is currently an Associate Professor of Art at Rice University. She was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2004.

Bennett Simpson is Senior Curator at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, USA.
