Anna Weyant

The coffee table book "Anna Weyant" captures the development of a rising star in the art world and reveals her astute commentary on the representation of women in pop culture and the art historical canon. This art book chronicles six years of Weyant's artistic output and is the most comprehensive publication on her painting practice to date.

Anna Weyant is the first monograph published by Gagosian on the New York-based artist known for her accurately rendered figures with their creamy curves and gentle beauty, in which the tensions between female sexuality and purity, tragedy and comedy shine through.

With a dark sense of humor, Weyant dissects the stylistic figures and traditions of art historical representation, interrupting male expectations with often absurd and unbearable effects. The artist is particularly drawn to the uncertainties of adolescence, capturing young women in situations of intimate strangeness and catastrophe.
