Jennifer Bartlett

Published in 2014 by Locks Gallery, this monograph serves as a focused examination of the career of American artist Jennifer Bartlett. It was released to accompany exhibitions of her work and provide a comprehensive look at her multifaceted approach to painting, which often incorporated grids, architectural elements, and vibrant, serial imagery. The book captures the transition of her style from her early conceptual roots to her expansive, narrative-driven installations that defined her later reputation in the contemporary art scene.

Gregory Volk, a noted art critic and curator, authored this volume to contextualize Bartlett's complex compositions within the broader landscape of late 20th and early 21st-century art. The design of the book emphasizes the structural nature of Bartlett's work, utilizing clear layouts to showcase her signature use of steel plates and enamel paint. Upon its release, the volume was received as a valuable reference for scholars and collectors interested in how Bartlett reconciled formal rigor with expressive, often observational, subject matter.
