Selected by the artist especially for Victoria Miro Venice, the works on display date from 1991 to 2016 and reflect a career-long engagement with ideas of power, authority, artifice and illusion. While sources of inspiration include the Italian masters and masterpieces in Italian collections, this is the first time many of these works have been shown in Italy. “In a sense, the exhibition is like my mini Grand Tour.” – Mark Wallinger Encompassing autobiography and art history, the Italian Lessons of the exhibition title are manifold. They refer to Wallinger’s own education and to his exposure to the Italian masters: via a charismatic college lecturer in his native Essex; a seminal exhibition in London; a bicycle tour from Paris to Florence. Equally, the Lessons make reference to the cornerstones of art history – such as the development of perspective and trompe-l’oeil techniques – and the shifts in consciousness they have brought about. Lessons theological as well as pedagogical may be deduced in the content or context of his source material, part of a long-term consideration of religion as one of the ideological forces through which order is imposed on the world.

Love Is What You Want , Lougher Contemporary. Crane , No Time for Love. The Kiss Was Beautiful , In The Art of Tracey Emin, distinguished critics from Britain and the United States address her achievement in depth for the first time, tracing Emin's influences from Egon Schiele to Judy Chicago and establishing her place in a larger tradition of postmodern and feminist art. Adopting a variety of critical approaches, contributors explore the full range of Emin's work, from photography and monoprints to installation art and videos, showing that, however raw and personal it may seem to be, it actually represents a carefully meditated response to vital issues in contemporary culture and society. Deals the truth about anal intercourse, at last: how liberating it is- but only for the purpetrator. In this case, the work explores the common experience of depression through a very personal and intimate lens. This artwork draws an important distinction between representation and presentation. This piece is not a representation of an object such as a painting or a sculpture. The art object doesn't refer to another object; it is the object itself. Some have argued that this was the key work in elevating women's experiences to the level of artistic expression.

  • New Museum to Present Exhibition of Works by Tacita Dean Works to Feature Portraits of Creative Figures Including Merce Cunning
    TEL +1 212.219.1222. FAX +1 212.431.5326. newmuseum.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 30, 2012 PRESS CONTACTS: Gabriel Einsohn, Communications Director [email protected] Andrea Schwan, Andrea Schwan Inc. [email protected] New Museum to Present Exhibition of Works by Tacita Dean Works to Feature Portraits of Creative Figures including Merce Cunningham, Leo Steinberg, Julie Mehretu, Claes Oldenburg, and Cy Twombly Tacita Dean, Still from Craneway Event, 2009. 16mm color anamorphic film, 108 mins. Courtesy the artist, Marian Goodman Gallery, New York / Paris, and Frith Street Gallery, London New York, NY…This May, the New Museum will present an exhibition of works by British artist Tacita Dean—the most substantial presentation of the artist’s work in New York to date. The presentation focuses on a group of recent pieces that capture five important American artists and thinkers of the last fifty years and features Merce Cunningham, Leo Steinberg, Julie Mehretu, Claes Oldenburg, and Cy Twombly. These works are beautifully crafted portraits of each individual, opening a lens onto their artistic processes and personal memories. This installation, organized in close collaboration with Dean, brings together an under-recognized strand of her practice and provides insight into the way in which her filmmaking intersects with painting, sculpture, writing, and dance.This exhibition is part of a series of focus shows concentrating on a single project or body of work within an artist’s larger practice which began last May with presentations by Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Gustav Metzger. “Tacita Dean: Five Americans” will be on view from May 6–July 1, 2012, and is curated by Massimiliano Gioni, Associate Director and Director of Exhibitions, and Margot Norton, Curatorial Associate.

  • Cézanne at the Whitworth PRESS RELEASE 30 July 2019 Final
    Press Release Issued, July 2019 (updated 23 August) Cézanne at the Whitworth 24 August 2019 – 1 March 2020 This exhibition celebrates an extraordinary collection of drawings and prints by Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) that has been gifted and placed on long-term loan to the Whitworth by gallerist, collector, author and publisher Karsten Schubert. This important act of generosity means that the Whitworth now holds the best collection of Cézanne works on paper in the United Kingdom, including a version of every print produced by the artist. These works will significantly expand the research potential of the Whitworth’s important collection of late nineteenth-century French and Dutch drawings by artists including Van Gogh, Seurat and Gauguin. Cézanne is widely considered to be one of the most influential artists of the nineteenth century, described by both Matisse and Picasso as ‘the father of us all’. Renowned for his accomplished approach to building form with colour, this exhibition will place focus on his drawings and prints, revealing Cézanne to be a draughtsman of great range and complexity. His lively, deeply personal drawings were never exhibited during his lifetime and were barely mentioned in his correspondence, only being discovered after his death. This exhibition will be the first in the UK since 1973 to focus exclusively on Cézanne’s drawings and prints, giving a new insight into the complexity of his artistic practice and his dedication to overcoming his artistic limitations through careful study of the Old Masters. It is this process of reference and repetition that forms a central theme of the exhibition.
