Mary Pratt - English

Luminescent paintings form the visual focus of Mary Pratt, a career retrospective that examines every aspect of Pratt’s unique creative journey.

This major book on her work, the first in almost twenty years, features five major essays. It also includes 75 colour reproductions of Pratt’s most renowned work and a chronology of her career. Together, they form a conversation around Pratt’s technique, her influences and the themes that weave through and around her art — the role of place and personal biography, the passage of time, the very act of looking, and, of course, the “stuff of life.”
