Anatomically Incorrect

The Museum of Modern Art - MoMA, New York

Moving between extremes of mere deformation and base defamation, these images represent aggressively dismantled, distorted, and radically reassembled human, frequently female, forms. This exhibition takes a close look at the complex range of bodily distortions present in the work of artists historically associated with Surrealism, shown juxtaposed with recent artworks that expand, exaggerate, and update the Surrealist body in a number of different ways.
Sensitive to issues of voyeurism and fetishism, this younger generation of artists, many of them women, reinvent the Surrealist body, at times representing human anatomy even more disturbingly transformed. Among the artists whose work will appear in this installation are Hans Bellmer, Louise Bourgeois, Salvador Dali, Alberto Giacometti, Man Ray, Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Cindy Sherman, Kiki Smith, and Lucas Samaras.
The exhibition includes paintings, photographs, prints, drawings, illustrated books, and sculptures.
Organized by Anne Umland, Associate Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture, and M. Darsie Alexander, Assistant Curator, Department of Photography.
