Nicole Eisenman: Sturm und Drang

The work of New York-based artist Nicole Eisenman blends influences from Western art history and traditional figurative art with elements of punk, feminist activism, queer identity and humour in profoundly unique works. This project represents the first in-depth exploration of Eisenman’s sculptural practice. The catalogue features full-color illustrations and original texts by Heather Pesanti, Stephanie Roach and Jonathan Rider, Alhena Katsof, Litia Perta, and the artist herself.The book reflects on various aspects of these two exhibitions, with a focus on Eisenman’s recent shift toward sculpture as both a new focus and always-present undercurrent in her work brought to the surface.
