Letters to Jill. A Catalogue and Some Notes on Copying.

Hill, Pati. 

£10[Sold]

This is a reprint of Pati Hill’s 1979 book published on occasion of her first posthumous solo exhibition, ‘Something other than either’, at Kunstverein München on view from March through August 2020. The book is composed of images and texts by Hill through which she intended to contextualize and explain her working methodology to Jill Kornblee, her New York gallerist. Untrained as an artist, Pati Hill began to use the photocopier as an artistic tool in the early 1970s, leaving behind an extensive oeuvre that oscillates between image and text. Besides this comprehensive body of xerographic work, she published four novels, a memoir, several short stories, wrote poetry, and made drawings. Instead of an exhibition catalog that would offer an interpretation of her work, this publication provides space for Hill’s own writing that interrogates and accompanies her visual work. — Publisher’s blurb.
