🏛️EXHIBITION!🏛️
@kaws has just dropped a new art piece for a group show at @skarstedtgallery New York, which is now open!
Skarstedt is pleased to announce Painter/Model, an exhibition devoted to one of art history’s most enduring subjects: the charged encounter between the artist and their sitter. With a genealogy that stretches back to Vermeer’s The Art of Painting (circa 1666-1668) and Velázquez’s Las Meninas (1656), the subject of the painter and model has over time developed into a distinct genre within the history of art. As a pairing that dramatizes intimacy and distance, invention and observation, power and vulnerability, the theme of the painter and model has become a site for artists not only to rethink the act of painting but also to probe the structures of power embedded in the act of representation itself.
The exhibition will feature work by Cristina BanBan, Eric Fischl, Jameson Green, Chantal Joffe, KAWS, Danielle Orchard, Pablo Picasso, Paula Rego & Dana Schutz.
‘Painter/Model’ opens October 30 at Skarstedt Chelsea.
Opening Reception; October 30, 6-8 PM. 547 West 25th Street. remirough Art imitating art imitating art imitating art...
