Lisa Milroy

This authoritative work documents the breadth of Milroy's career bringing together a range of her paintings from the 1980s and 90s and a body of new work. Illustrated with works from the retrospective exhibition being held at Tate Liverpool and other sources, the book is organized by subject rather than chronology and provides a visual catalogue that reveals recurrent themes and ideas. Milroy first received attention during the 1980s for her paintings of familiar and quite ordinary objects, often devoid of any specific context, which explored issues around space, repetition, pattern, rhythm, and order. Since the early 1990s, Milroy's subject matter has expanded to include landscapes, cityscapes, architecture, people and animals, revealing her continued interest in objects in relation to space.
