Agnes Denes "Body Prints"
Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects
This event has ended.
Featuring thirteen small works on paper created between 1970 and 1976 that display the cerebral, sensual, and humorous aspects of Agnes Denes's singular aesthetics, the exhibition highlights her never-before exhibited Body Prints series.
Agnes Denes is internationally known for her innovative use of nontraditional materials in creating exquisitely rendered works on paper that link conceptual art to philosophy, science, mathematics, and other disciplines that she has explored in various mediums during her long and distinguished career.
The exhibition includes rare early examples from The Philosophical Drawings and Map Projections series. Among the works on view are The Human Argument Disrupted (1970) a series of four collages in which Denes renders her own symbolic logic illogical by cutting up a photographic reproduction of her seminal Philosophical Drawing, The Human Argument (1969–70), now in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art.
