A snapshot of a prominent conceptual artist's interiority, as reproduced in this facsimile edition notebook

Lucy R. Lippard described Lee Lozano (1930-99) as "the foremost conceptual artist of her time." Her paintings, drawings and performative projects scrutinized socialized gender and body politics, and energetically critiqued norms of respectability and behavioral customs.
Last added to January 31, 1972, this is the penultimate volume in a set of 11 facsimile editions of Lozano's journals. Alluding to her own nonlinear, slippery logic, she wrote: "THIS IS BK 10 WHICH IS CONTINUED FROM BK 3 WHICH WAS CONTINUED FROM BK 1" on the journal's first page. A later entry notes: "VISIT DAN GRAHAM 1:30 AM. WE WALK TO DAVE'S CORNER, I LEAVE NOTE FOR NORMAN, DAN & I DECIDE NOT TO STAY TOGETHER TONITE." This pocket-size notebook, chock-full of ideas for her work, quotidian scheduling notations and personal reflections, offers an intimate view of an elusive artist.
