Nicola L. Life and Art
Nicola L.: Life and Art is the first comprehen- sive monograph about the pioneering artist Nicola L. (1932-2018), whose wide-ranging work—impossible to categorise—challenged ideas about identity, gender, and the body long before such questions were de rigueur. Born in Morocco to French parents, she spent her formative years in Paris attending the Beaux-Arts, only to burn most of her paint- ings in 1965 and move towards formats that engaged people more directly: wall-mount- ed canvases that could be worn as costumes, sculptures that doubled as seats, coats de- signed for many people to wear at once, or films about radical political figures.
