Published on the occasion of an exhibition held at June, Berlin, 9 September - 30 October 2021.
Includes bibliographical references.
Published to commemorate the first German presentation of the artist's work at June gallery, Berlin, the book focuses on the artist's late-career departure from the industrial figuration for which she was known into a wry, quietly influential approach to abstraction. Included works date from 1960-1993. Prunella Clough's abstraction developed largely out of step with any artistic movement or milieu: impervious to the advent of Pop, she was more taken by the Minimalism of Donald Judd and Sol LeWitt, which may have accentuated her sense of restraint. Amy Sillman calls Clough "a 'conceptual painter' avant la lettre," while Merlin James emphasizes how she "anticipated many traits in post-modern painting." Awarded the Jerwood Painting Prize in 1999 shortly before her death, and recognized with significant solo exhibitions at Annely Juda Fine Art Gallery (1989), the Camden Arts Center (1996), and a posthumous Tate Britain retrospective (2007), Clough's legacy remains bogged down by emphasis on her early figurative works, tethering her innovative abstraction too tightly to an industrial origin story. This catalogue is a remedy to this situation. - Subject Terms:
