{"product_id":"9780854882472","title":"Mary Heilmann: Looking at Pictures","description":"\u003cp\u003eMary Heilmann studied ceramics and poetry before moving to New York in 1968 and taking up painting. A pioneer of infusing abstract painting with influences from craft traditions and popular culture—especially rock music and California beach culture—Heilmann is one of the most important yet under-recognized artists working today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMary Heilmann: Looking at Pictures\u003c\/i\u003e explores the artist’s approach to abstraction from two distinct but interrelated perspectives: the formal and the personal. The autobiographical dimension of the artist’s work is clear in her pieces related to friendships, memories and places; while the formal aspect of her oeuvre is evident in her paintings of grids and squares rendered in primary colors and in works based on architectural planes.\u003cbr\u003eAs well as a new essay by Briony Fer and writings on key works by the artist, the volume features over 100 beautiful full-color illustrations of paintings, works on paper, furniture and ceramics from Heilmann’s five-decade career.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Whitechapel Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022173585648,"sku":"9780854882472","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780854882472_p0.jpg?v=1763825907","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780854882472","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
