In many ways, the story of Mimi Lauter’s practice over the last decade and a half is the story of color’s irrepressible ascendance as it came to eclipse narrative, representation, and even form itself with the brute power of its wavelength vibrancy. Color is the protagonist. Color is a force. Color is explosive. - Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer
The first comprehensive monograph devoted to Mimi Lauter’s work, this elegantly linen-bound hardcover offers an immersive exploration of the artist's distinctive creative process and vividly dynamic body of work. The catalogue spans Lauter's career, packed with rich colors and swirling textures, showcasing her visceral works created primarily in oil and soft pastels on paper. Alongside these works, intimate photographs of Lauter's home studio and garden invite readers into her universe. Lauter refers to her garden as an "ongoing, constantly changing epic mural" that deeply informs her palette and compositions. This monograph includes a text by Los Angeles-based writer and curator Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer and an essay by LACMA Contemporary Art curator Diana Nawi, offering an in-depth understanding of Lauter’s artistic vision and evolution.
