Josefina Auslender

This stunning book offers the first comprehensive exploration of Argentinian contemporary artist Josefina Auslender. Despite her prolific mastery of drawing and abstraction in graphite, coloured pencil, and ink, Auslender has received disproportionately little attention by critics, scholars, and art institutions—until now.

This survey of Auslender's artistic career spans decades and continents, conveying her lifelong passion for creating new worlds through art. By connecting the artist's work with key moments in her professional career and intersecting with major global events, the accessible text examines issues of gender, war, grief, trauma, and diaspora—and how we all, in our own ways, grapple with feelings of isolation and connection, otherness, and belonging.
