Alice Mackler is the first monograph of an artist who has been making highly original work for nearly eighty years. Born in 1931, Mackler today is still pushing forward not only her own art but also the boundaries of contemporary art across sculpture, painting, drawing, and collage. While long beloved and admired by artists, Mackler over the last few years has finally found the wide and enthusiastic audience she deserves. With a focus on the female figure, Mackler’s work is, as Matthew Higgs writes in the book, “a visceral accumulation of her experiences translated into a material form.”
