(LOZANO, LEE). Lozano, Lee. New York. 2016-2021: Karma. First Editions. 12mo. Spiral Bound Wrappers. Artist's Books. As New./No Jackets - As Issued.. Since 2016, New York's esteemed Karma has dedicated itself to publishing a series of facsimile reproductions of eleven spiral-bound, 5 x 3" commercial notebooks from the late 1960s compiled by the noted late contemporary artist Lee Lozano. "A prolific writer and documenter of both her art and her relationships, Lee Lozano kept a series of personal journals from 1968 to 1970 while living in New York's SoHo neighborhood. In 1972 she rigorously edited these books, thus completing the project. Eleven of these private books survive, containing notes on her work, detailed interactions with artist friends and commentary on the alienations of gender politics, as well as philosophical queries into art's role in society and humorous asides from daily life." A brand new, complete set of all nine volumes issued to date - including the unavailable first edition of the first notebook - still in the publisher's shrinkwrap. 1-942607-55-5 Inventory Number: 027619
