LIQUID REFLECTIONS, Liliane Lijn's brilliant memoir published by Hamish Hamilton in March 2025, is an Editor's Choice for Memoir and Biography in The Bookseller's non-fiction March previews.

Editor's Choice

‘This is her wonderfully evocative memoir of the trail-blazing years of experimentation and adventure that followed: from Paris to New York, Venice and Athens, finding radical pleasure in the art of creative expression in myriad media. Based on her personal diaries of those times, it is also a revelatory portrait of the artist, now 84, whose work is currently seeing a long overdue resurgence after a lifetime of being told over and over that art is no career for a woman’. Caroline Sanderson, Associate Editor, The Bookseller

Here is Hamish Hamilton’s book cover - some of Liliane Lijn's astonishing work appears in the exhibition Electric Dreams, which has just opened at Tate Modern.
