I Am The Last Woman Object\u003c\/em\u003e offers novel perspectives on the artist's practice from some of the exhibitions' curators: Gina Buenfeld-Murley, Martin Clare, Geraldine Gourbe,  and Leonie Radine. Together, they reflect on her life in Paris, Ibiza, Beirut, and New York, situating her within the politics and the social movements of her time. They also bring her work fully into the present by placing it in the context of the social, political, and ecological challenges facing the world today, thus enabling the resonance of her extraordinary practice to continue more than half a century after she began working. Taken together, the texts reveal Nicola L.'s remarkable and lifelong commitment to art, creativity, and radical subversion, presenting a long-overdue appraisal of a practice that straddled many movements and styles in twentieth-century art but resolutely defied categorization.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ICA Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60072775942528,"sku":null,"price":48.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0012\/4390\/6109\/files\/lenz_nicola_l_1800x0_522d88d3-629a-4ca0-b7a0-d3390d21cd77.jpg?v=1791552208","url":"https:\/\/shop.ica.art\/products\/nicola-l-i-am-the-last-woman-object","provider":"ICA Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
