Description: Bettina is the first monograph to showcase the work of the previously unsung artist Bettina Grossman whose wildly interdisciplinary practice spanned photography sculpture textile cinema drawing and more. An eccentric personality fully dedicated to her art Bettina lived in the famous Chelsea Hotel from 1968 until her death in late 2021. In her tiny studio she produced and accumulated a considerable body of work much of which has remained unseen and unpublished until now. Her interests ranged from geometric and abstract studies drawn from observations of people on the street to pieces that transformed language into graphic abstract verbal forms. Incorporating strategies of chance and the abstraction of everyday form through repetition and seriality Bettina pushed the photographic medium to and beyond its limits. As Robert Blackburn artist and founder of the Printmaking Workshop astutely observed of Bettina's work: The photography film sculpture are as one for the photographic medium is employed not only for documentation but as an endless source of inspiration from which other disciplines emerge and merge. Bettina was the winner of the Luma Rencontres Dummy Book Award Arles 2020 and is copublished by Aperture and ditions Xavier Barral.
