Julie Mehretu: Ensemble (Palazzo Grassi)
Caroline Bourgeois (Ed)
Marsilio & Pinault Collection, 2024
€49,95
Mehretu’s evocative compositions in conversation with artists and writers of all stripes, imparting the artist’s ongoing commitment to collaboration.
This catalog is published in conjunction with a major exhibition dedicated to the work of American artist Julie Mehretu (born Etiopia, 1970), spotlighting more than 60 paintings, drawings and prints, from the past 25 years – several of which were painted in the last two. Her sensual and emotional compositions are imbued with palimpsestic and inventive marks that emerge from a dense, multilayered and complex set of references: art historical and sociopolitical, geographical, contemporary and personal. Mehretu’s practice has also always engaged in various forms of collaboration and sustained conversation with fellow artists.
Fittingly, then, this catalog presents Mehretu’s work alongside that of the artists and writers Nairy Baghramian, Huma Bhabha, Robin Coste Lewis, Tacita Dean, David Hammons, Paul Pfeiffer and Jessica Rankin.
