Summary:
Née en 1911 à Paris, installée à New York depuis 1938 et jusqu'à sa mort en 2010, Louise Bourgeois a créé en plus de 60 ans un univers protéiforme qui, échappant à tous les « -ismes » du XXe siècle, est à la fois ancré dans une expérience personnelle singulière et ouvert sur l'histoire et l'histoire de l'art, exprimant la complexité et la permanence du désir à partir d'événements récurrents. Son œuvre, marquée par un vif intérêt pour la psychologie, sonde les émotions humaines : l'amour, la dépendance, la sexualité, le rejet, la jalousie et l'abandon.

Summary:
Bernhardt’s boundless visual appetite has established her as one of the most exciting painters working today. Thinking about the relationship between art, objects, and commerce, Bernhardt spotlights iconic motifs of cartoons and cultural symbols.

Serra’s steel sculptures are held in major collections internationally, and his drawings assert themselves as abstract victories. Through the use of black paintstick—a combination of oil paint, wax, and pigment, to which he has used since 1971—Serra’s drawings convey a strong sense of optical weight, acutely similar to the physical presence of his sculptures. 2022, the artist’s largest single forged round to date, investigates properties of weight and scale.

Publication made for the occasion of the show at 11 Mansfield Street, London. "Over the last few months, we have immersed ourselves in his archive; to discover new and rediscover familiar pieces; to discuss, and to gain a better understanding of his design and creative process. The focus of our conversations has been on quality; quality of work, life, time, research, food, family and friends. This focus informed our selection of pieces, and the grouping of themes, to reach the final edit of chairs, tables, 'Chables', cabinets, screens, shelves, mirrors, vases, beds, desks, lights, hooks, books and more. The idea was to fully embrace the journey so far, in order to navigate and prioritise what the future should and can become. " —Sarah Douglas

Summary:
Andrea Blum (born 1950) is a New York–based artist who has worked at the intersection of art, architecture and design since the 1970s. She has exhibited at a wide range of venues and has built projects in Europe and the United States that include public installations, furniture, exhibition design, libraries and other designs for living. Blum’s work considers the relationship of the sociopolitical world to the private psychological one, zooming in and out of the conditions that organize us as a culture, with a focus on the "down time"—when one eats, reads and is in repose—as the time when the border between private behavior and public etiquette is most evidenced. Accompanying an expansive exhibition of the same name at Hunter College Art Galleries, "Biota" is lavishly illustrated with extensive photography of Blum’s early sculpture, public works, exhibitions, installations and propositions of the past 40 years.

Summary:
In her painting, American artist Amy Sillman (born 1955) expands the standards of abstraction using material and conceptual interventions in the painting process. She destabilizes purported dichotomies and hierarchizations between figuration and abstraction, intimacy and clumsiness, ability and self-negation, process and completion. Now the serial drawings and paintings are multicolored, now monochrome, now they show complex forms, now figures or body parts. And they are always filled with delight in the process. The publication "Amy Sillman: Oh, Clock!" highlights her critical exploration of the history of painting and conveys her complex and sophisticated painterly practice on canvas and beyond.
