Each contributor has chosen a painting or drawing to write about, many selecting from their own private collections. In addition to previously exhibited paintings, this volume offers a view of works by Miller we have not seen before, accompanied by reflections–both studied and distinctly personal–written by her contemporaries. The result is an illuminating and intimate collection of work by an artist who, to date, has been underrepresented in print.
