Katharina Fritsch Exhibition
Matthew Marks Gallery 522 W 22nd St.
This event has ended.
Matthew Marks presents Katharina Fritsch: The Garden, the next exhibition in his gallery at 522 West 22nd Street. The exhibition will include over twenty new sculptures and silkscreens, including her latest life-size figure, Giant, an all-gray cave man holding a large club. This will be Katharina Fritsch’s fourth one-person exhibition at Matthew Marks Gallery since 1996.
The gallery has been re-built by the artist so that the works in the exhibition are featured in four rooms in the middle of the space. In each of them an iconic sculpture is surrounded by three silkscreens printed in a matte oil-based ink on thick plastic panels.
The sculptures in the exhibition include a life-sized black figurine of St. Katherine, an idealized gray vase, an over-sized black snake, and a pair of bright blue kidneys sitting on a checkered table cloth. All of these works are surrounded by silkscreened idyllic landscapes printed in bright monochrome colors derived from postcards collected during her childhood.
