Ana Mendieta (Tate catalogue)

Published to accompany the first major exhibition of Mendieta’s work in the UK in over a decade, the book showcases over 200 expertly reproduced images of her work, including her widely celebrated Silueta series, which outlines the artist's own body in the landscape using earth, fire, water, flowers and other materials.

Essays by contributors such as Chuz Martinez, Ida Panicelli and Maria Elena Ortiz delve deeper into individual artworks, including rare paintings from the beginning of Mendieta’s career (De Pelicula, 1969), ephemeral sculptures (Sandwoman series), and the seminal Atabey (Mother of the Waters) made in the early 1980s, which saw the artist working alongside the soft limestone walls of caves outside Havana.[publisher's note]
