Drawings by Karen Kilimnik is an artist’s book that gathers a selection of Kilimnik’s works on paper, presenting her distinctive drawing practice as an extension of her broader installation-based and collage-oriented work. The publication reflects Kilimnik’s ongoing interest in fragmentation, fantasy, and the construction of personal mythologies through image-making.

The drawings often combine fashion imagery, historical references, film stills, ballet figures, aristocratic portraits, animals, and pop-cultural fragments. Rather than developing linear narratives, they operate through associative leaps, where disparate visual sources are brought together in unstable, dreamlike compositions.
