Published in 2022.  We had this in the shop but not on the site... until now!

To get up to speed, and get an idea of what's in store here, check out this lavishly illustrated interview with Laurie Lipton on Beinart, HERE.  (only a couple of the illustrations shown here are included in the book; most of what is in the book is of more recent vintage and more politically orienrted)

Last Gasp sez: 

Laurie Lipton draws on canvases that are improbably large, using only pencil and charcoal. The images she renders present our modern world in scathing critique.

The artwork is part of three ongoing series entitled Techno Rococo, Post Truth, and May You Live in Interesting Times.

In these she addresses social media, unchecked consumerism, intellectual decline, environmental catastrophe, and soul-crushing isolation, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Her sprawling phantasmagorias have earned her a broad constituency of fans and collectors, from scholars and aficionados of the Flemish and German Renaissance, to savvy contemporary gallerists and collectors, to filmmakers such as Terry Gilliam and James Scott (who directed the award-winning 2016 documentary about her, Love Bite) and finally to a massive and loyal social-media following.

Includes introductory essay “Laurie Lipton and the Golden Thread” by Richard Speer.
