Sean Kelly Gallery is delighted to announce a major exhibition of new works
by Rebecca Horn. This is Horn's first solo exhibition in New York since 1998
and her first since joining Sean Kelly Gallery. The opening of the
exhibition will take place on Friday, October 11th from 6pm until 8pm. The
artist will be present.
Horn's exhibition is comprised of several large-scale sculptures and a
series of new photographic works. The installation in the first gallery,
constitutes a new direction in her work incorporating moving imagery and
water, whilst in the main gallery Horn orchestrates three important new
mechanical sculptures. In a group of new photoworks, Horn utilizes a camera
that double-exposes each frame. She then overpaints the picture and
re-photographs them, resulting in complex overlaid fragmented images that
are enigmatic, poetic and deeply intriguing.
Rebecca Horn, (born in Germany in 1944), is without question one of the
seminal artists of our time. Her work, which ranges over a wide variety of
media including film, performance, installation, photography and sculpture
addresses themes of perception, philosophy and communication. The employment
of such wide ranging interests as science and alchemy, the rational and the
intuitive, the mechanical and the sensual has occurred repeatedly in her
work over the last three decades and resulted in one of the most distinct
and individual oeuvres in the art world. Horn has participated in the
Venice Biennale, the Biennale of Sydney, and is one of very few artists whom
have been selected to participate in Documenta on four separate occasions.
Horn's work is included in many major public collections worldwide
including: The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Museum of Modern Art,
New York; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australia; Castello di Rivoli
Museum of Contemporary Art, Torino, Italy; The Tate Gallery, London; San
Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco; Musée National d¹Art Moderne,
Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam and the Van
AbbeMuseum, Eindhoven.

more information. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 11am until
6pm.
