She was born Lenore Knaster in 1930 in Newark, New Jersey, but changed her name to “Lee” at age 14. At the University of Chicago she studied philosophy, but in 1956, when she married the Mexico-born architect Adrian Lozano, she became a budding artist. The marriage didn’t last but art did. Lozano moved to New York City to pursue painting and drawing, working in a suggestive expressionist style that soon veered toward conceptualism. A purist and a revolutionary, Lozano couldn’t countenance the art world. She began her official withdrawal from the New York scene in 1969 with General Strike Piece, which contained the following instructions to herself: “Gradually but determinedly avoid being present at official or public ‘uptown’ functions or gatherings related to the ‘art world’ in order to pursue investigations of total personal and public revolution.” Lozano died in 1999, at age 68. Her paintings, drawings and conceptual work, spanning her entire career, is the subject of this exhibition. —Elena Clavarino
