Pat Steir - von Drathen, Doris (Berlin : Galerie Thomas Schulte, 2019)
Pat Steir, born in 1940 in Newark, New Jersey, has been at the forefront of American painting for several decades. She has become known for her “drip”- style paintings, which often represent a challenge to the hegemony of Jackson Pollock. Poet and art critic John Yau wrote that Steir’s work “tends to focus on time passing, its entropic power,” transmitting to the viewer, the deep physicality of time. Pat Steir’s Waterfall Paintings are in part created through the effects of gravity on the medium and the exigencies of chance. Each painting is precisely planned and realized according to a set of rules that the artist predetermined. Steir’s approach is at once contingent on process and prearranged—a duality paralleled through the way in which her work traverses the boundary between abstraction and representation.(from publisher)
