SIGNED, dated '2012' (lr) and numbered '19/20' (ll) by artist in pencil on verso. Also, stamped with Landfall Press Copyright 2011 stamp (ll) on verso. Published and printed by Landfall Press Inc., Santa Fe, NM. Excellent condition with no visible defects (never framed or displayed). Exploring the visual representation of language, Only the Lonely creates a textual puzzle, merging the words "only" and "lonely." Kay Rosen's paintings, drawings, editions, collages, and installations on walls, billboards and buildings are best known for using language as their imagery. Understanding language as a visual and malleable form, Rosen explains in a 2010 interview: “When it comes to reading my work, throw out all the rules you ever learned: spelling, spacing, capitalization, margins, linear reading, composition…all your old reading habits will be useless.” Some of Rosen's most recent projects include Mañana Man, a commission for the opening of the Linde Family Wing at the MFA Boston and Go Do Good, a public 6-story mural on Chicago's State Street in 2011. In 2012, Rosen will complete Here are the People and There is the Steeple, an exterior wall painting on the Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Walwhetu in Christchurch, New Zealand, as the city is rebuilding following the disastrous earthquakes of 2010-2011. She will also create a temporary outdoor commission for the Aspen Art Museum in June 2012. Kay Rosen’s work is included in the permanent collections of Art Institute of Chicago, IL; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL; Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, CA; Museum of Modern Art, NY; Whitney Museum of American Art, NY; among others. Rosen is a 2017 recipient of a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship. She has received three National Endowment for the Arts, Visual Arts Grants to date. As of 6/5/19, Kay Rosen is now represented by Sikkema Jenkins & Co., New York, NY.
