SHIRLEY HAFFE - FORM AS EXPERIMENT

The American abstract painter Shirley Jaffe (19232016) led a productive, uncompromising, and individualistic artists life dedicated entirely to her work. Although her oeuvre testifies to a great need for control as well as to courage in the face of complexity, it remains playful, dynamic, and nimble. Form as Experiment offers an appealing mix of assessments and testimonies by Jaffes contemporaries, alongside the latest art historical findings based on never-before-published documents from Jaffes estate.
