"Breathtaking in scope and bringing together every facet of Leonard's oeuvre, <i>Zoe Leonard: Survey </i>celebrates Leonard's unflinching eye and her intimate art." -<i>Midwest Book Review<br /><br /></i>"Leonard’s work is as important now as it was in 1992, when her images adorned the posters for women’s reproductive rights and when she wrote her famous protest essay, “I want a president.” While her work provides a much-needed political force, <i>Survey </i>reminds us that it is an equally necessary proof of beauty in a challenging and at times ugly world." -<i>The Brooklyn Rail</i>

From aerial landscapes to the Alaskan wilderness, American cities to natural history museums, there are few subjects that Zoe Leonard has not tackled in her 30-year career. Working primarily in photography and sculpture, Leonard consistently confronts the realities of change, love, and loss. This book brings audiences up to date on Leonard's impressive body of work and accompanies a long-awaited retrospective exhibition. It features images and examinations from every one of Leonard's major series, including her early aerial and museum photographs, her landmark works- Strange Fruit and Analogue-and her most recent works, "In the Wake." Essays in the book range from the critical to the personal, including explorations of sexual politics, immigration, and family. Breathtaking in scope and bringing together every facet of Leonard's oeuvre, this volume celebrates Leonard's unflinching eye and her intimate art.
