Mary Corse

“For me, a work enters into the realm of art when it makes me feel and know the reality of my human state in its essence—an abstract perceptual experience beyond thought.” Mary Corse 

Produced in conjunction with her solo exhibition at Kayne Griffin Corcoran in 2017, which included a selection of light works and shaped canvas paintings covered in refractive materials, this is the first major catalog on Mary Corse. With an essay by Suzanne Hudson and an interview by Alex Bacon, this book initiates a critical reappraisal of the artist, whose sixty-year career has been an ongoing investigation of materiality, abstraction, and perception.
