Exhibition catalogue with twenty color illustrations of paintings by the British painter Prunella Clough (1919\u20131999). Published to commemorate the first German presentation of the artist\u2019s work at June gallery, Berlin, the book focuses on the artist\u2019s late-career departure from the industrial figuration for which she was known into a wry, quietly influential approach to abstraction. Included works date from 1960\u20131993. Prunella Clough\u2019s abstraction developed largely out of step with any artistic movement or milieu: impervious to the advent of Pop, she was more taken by the Minimalism of Donald Judd and Sol LeWitt, which may have accentuated her sense of restraint. Amy Sillman calls Clough \u201ca \u2018conceptual painter\u2019 avant la lettre,\u201d while Merlin James emphasizes how she \u201canticipated many traits in post-modern painting.\u201d Awarded the Jerwood Painting Prize in 1999 shortly before her death, and recognized with significant solo exhibitions at Annely Juda Fine Art Gallery (1989), the Camden Arts Center (1996), and a posthumous Tate Britain retrospective (2007), Clough\u2019s legacy remains bogged down by emphasis on her early figurative works, tethering her innovative abstraction too tightly to an industrial origin story. This catalogue is a remedy to this situation.
