Pat Steir: Drawing Out of Line

Five distinct bodies of work by artist Pat Steir are considered: her minimal and intimate word/image drawings (1970-1974), richly delineated serial investigations of line (1975-1976), heroically scaled wave drawings (1983-1986), four interrelated series of waterfall drawings (1991), and a series of broad, gestural marks that often serve as a background for pastel grids (2007-2008). Steir’s wall drawings are also represented.
