Ethiopian American artist Julie Mehretu is one of today's most influential living painters. Her rich language of painterly abstraction reverberates with a multitude of references including histories of art, architecture and past civilisations, spurred by contemporary events that impact all our lives directly and indirectly. Her paintings are not literal illustrations of these lived realities but an attempt to give expression to our collective experience of the world.

Published by the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia on the occasion of Julie Mehretu: A Transcore of the Radical Imaginatory, this significant publication charts Mehretu's continually evolving investigations into the possibilities of abstraction; from her earliest works on paper to her experimental printmaking and, most recently, her TRANSpaintings, which extend the artist's thinking about painting as embodied experience.
