Liat Yossifor's first artist monograph focuses on a series of ever-evolving grey paintings she produced from 2011-2016.

Employing a time-based process to create these works, she continuously scrapes, sculpts, and re-works the paint until it hardens on the surface.Of the works here, Yossifor has said,"The grey is so much more for me. The grey is the result of color being consumed, of constant editing. The grey is the result of a thousand paintings that got destroyed in the process of making a single one."Yossiforwas profiled byModern Paintersas an artist to watch in 2016and has recently had exhibitionsin New York; Frankfurt, Germany; Guadalajaraand Chicago. The book includes essays by Karen Lang, Christopher Michno, Stella Rollig and Ed Schadand was designed byaward-winning Vienna-based graphic artistPeter Duniecki.

My interest in the paintings of Liat Yossifor is multifold. [...] In her work, she has opened up a distinct space for herself within a domain many thought was no longer possible to work in: drawing in paint on canvas. In her work, Yossifor rejects the formal claim that drawing in paint (as in Willem de Kooning) evolved into the non-expressionistic use of paint-as-paint (Jackson Pollock). Rather than embracing this view of materiality, she seems to be interested in the connotative possibilities of paint's materiality when it is explored through alla prima painting and a rethinking of the figure-ground relationship. Her works suggest figural abstractions in which no figure is visible.
