Works on Paper

Nicola Tyson - Works on Paper
This book explores a range of works made between 2002 and 2016 from Nicola Tyson's sketchbook pages to large graphite drawings and giant, life-sized ink drawings.
All the works in the exhibition and the catalog attest to a gestural freedom, capturing moods and moments, both visceral and artificial, intimate and performative, in curious, fluid figurations. Nicola's wry humor and playfulness can be seen not only in her work but also in the text “Nicola Tyson in Conversation with Herself.” This self-conducted interview taps into the tradition of writing and performance that prominently flows through the artist's diverse practice.
Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at Petzel Gallery, New York, from March 2 to April 23, 2016.
