Description

In a life and career that encompassed multiple continents, disciplines and movements (both political and aesthetic), there was one constant in the work of Kiki Kogelnik: the body. Through her tracings, cutouts and paintings of the human figure, Kogelnik captured the silhouette of contemporary society and its ever shifting ambitions and concerns. At once buoyantly glamorous and deeply sincere, Kogelnik's practice reflected the discordant aura of the decades that followed the Second World War, a period marked by both achievement and upheaval, trauma and rebirth. Indeed, Kogelnik, born in Austria but living and working in New York for most of her life, was moved by both humanity's ability to send a man to the moon as well as its capacity for nuclear annihilation. Exhibition: Mitchell-Innes & Nash, New York, USA (23.05.-12.07.2019).
