Nicole Eisenman & The Moderns: Kunstmuseum Den Haag, The Hague, Netherlands
Rückblick exhibition
Information
Defiant, socially critical narratives presented with humour and recognisable elements from art history and popular culture, in a whole range of colours: that defines the work of Nicole Eisenman (they/them*). For the first time in almost 30 years, a retrospective of the work of one of today’s leading artists is about to open in the Netherlands. During those 30 years, the New York artist has built up a wide-ranging and iconic body of work. This winter, 70 artworks by Nicole Eisenman will be on show at Kunstmuseum Den Haag. Their vibrant paintings and drawings, exploring themes like humanity, queerness and society, will be shown alongside masterpieces by modern artists like Paula Modersohn-Becker and Edvard Munch, who in their day engaged with the same subjects and struggled with the same issues, or who held views that Eisenman actively opposes. The modern artworks on display, from the collections of Kunstmuseum Den Haag, Kunsthalle Bielefeld (Germany) and the Aargauer Kunsthaus (Switzerland), have been selected by Eisenman themself. Nicole Eisenman & the Moderns is a collaborative project developed and hosted by these institutions, plus the Fondation Vincent van Gogh in Arles (France). The show at Kunstmuseum Den Haag will be the last opportunity to see this unique exhibition.
