INTRODUCTION
"Carrie Moyer" is the first major monograph dedicated to the influential abstract painter and activist Carrie Moyer. Published by Rizzoli Electa in 2021, this 272-page hardcover presents a rich survey of Moyer’s career, with essays by Katy Siegel and Lauren O’Neill‑Butler.
Moyer’s practice merges vivid colour, abstraction, tactile texture, and legible imagery, spliced with references to Surrealism, Modernism, 1960s–70s counter-culture graphics, and feminist art. She often works on the floor—pouring, rolling, stippling paint, using glitter—and applies acrylics in experimental, joyful ways. Her work reflects both painting-as-painting and the broader histories of taste, culture, and queer identity.
Through a mix of vibrant imagery, process documentation, and critical commentary, the book offers insight into how Moyer’s paintings engage color field traditions while subverting them with bold gestures and layered narratives. Her involvement in public art and queer activism (like the Dyke Action Machine!) also enhances the depth of her artistic voice.
Ideal for students of contemporary painting, art history, and design lovers alike, "Carrie Moyer" provides both inspiration and critical context, showing how abstract art can be richly textured, culturally grounded, and visually electrifying.
