About the artworkLee Lozano began her artistic career in New York in 1960. She worked on this piece, Punch, Peek, Feel, for three years. First, she did the painting in minute detail, and a year or so later, she punched holes in the canvas. One can see both the wooden clamping frame and the wall through the holes. This gesture punctuates the illusion of volume and space which she had achieved through her meticulous painting. Towards the end of the 1960s, Lozano worked on a series of paintings of waves, but around this time she decided to quit painting, as she found it forced and repetitive. The conceptual art which Lozano had been working with all along, for example in her text-based artworks, now came to the forefront. She gave herself instructions to which she had to submit. In 1972 she exited the art world with her Dropout Piece.
