Rosalyn Drexler

Who Does She Think She Is?

By: Katy Siegel,Rosalyn Drexler,Hilton Als,Jonathan Lethem

Rosalyn Drexler, I thought to myself... She'd been praised by Donald Barthelme and Norman Mailer and Annie Dillard and Gloria Steinem and somehow shrugged it all off and stayed underground, irascible, implausible...she touched Pop, she touched Pulp, she touched Porn, she appropriate and satired and surrealled and film-noired, all with an intimacy and eccentricity that made the work a genre of its own.

Vulgar Lives

By: Rosalyn Drexler

Vulgar Lives includes 38 paintings and a series of preparatory drawings created between 1960 and 2014 by legendary Pop artist Rosalyn Drexler (born 1926). A novelist, Obie-winning playwright, sculptor, wrestler, and film and television writer, Drexler is a one-of-a-kind polymath whose 1960s paintings have enjoyed a recent resurgence. Using vibrant, often primary colors, the artist creates collage-paintings incorporating societal or media imagery with her own fantastical twist; figures from Western cultural history such as Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol and the Beatles are a few of her iconic subjects. This publication is unique in its move beyond Drexler's 1960s work, compiling a selection of the forceful--and sometimes jarring--imagery she has continued to create since that time, taking more liberties in form and content. Arranged chronologically, the works offer an insightful distillation of contemporary life in all its humorous and frightening contradictions.

To Smithereens

By: Rosalyn Drexler

To Smithereens is an extraordinarily good book, but then so is everything Rosalyn Drexler ever wrote." --The New York Times A provocative, cheeky romp through the Manhattan art scene and the female wrestling world of the 1970s, from an overlooked star of the Pop Art movement When Rosa, a curious, brash twenty-something flitting aimlessly through the Manhattan avant garde art scene, meets Paul, an art critic who is obsessed with being dominated by physically powerful women, an electric and off-kilter love story commences. On Paul's encouragement, Rosa becomes a professional wrestler and joins the women's wrestling circuit on a tour of the American South. Through wrestling, Rosa learns to articulate what kind of life she wants, and to wriggle free of Paul's attempts to possess her. To Smithereens is a lighthearted reconfiguration of the 1970s American road novel and a delightful satire of the avant garde art world of the same period, in which Rosalyn Drexler was a major figure. Inspired both by Drexler's experiences as one of few women in the Pop Art movement and her own career in the ring (immortalized in Andy Warhol's "Album of a Mat Queen"), and first published in 1972, To Smithereens is an antic, biting portrait of its time from a voice that speaks directly to ours.

Dear

A New Play

By: Rosalyn Drexler

(Applause Books). The script to "one of the most tender yet devastating plays of the Drexlerian oeuvre is the musical romance Dear . It takes place in the Eisenhower Fifties, the early years of television. There is an elegiac quality for the tragicomedy punctuated by the sentimental music of the era...The play is about Jessie Clup, a Queens housewife whose philandering husband has deserted her. Her only culpa is her fixation on Perry Como, the ex-barber, crooner kin, reigning TV star." Rosette Lamont, StageView .
