Artist: Katharina Grosse

For her first institutional solo show in London, Katharina Grosse presents an in situ painting in the SLG’s main gallery.

Continuing her exploration of the possibilities of the unhindered painted field, this new work titled This Drove my Mother up the Wall will raise questions about time and action, and the ability of painting to fuse notions of past, present and future into one work. Also included in the exhibition are two films selected by Grosse and shown in the first floor galleries; Women Artists (2016) by Claudia Müller which documents Grosse curating a virtual exhibition of other female artists, and Agnès Varda’s award winning film The Gleaners and I (2000).

With thanks to The Henry Moore Foundation and Gagosian.

Grosse was born in 1961 in Freiberg, Germany, and now lives and works in Berlin. Her work has been featured in international solo and group exhibitions, as well as major arts projects and biennales. Grosse’s most recent site-specific installations include Rockaway! for MoMA PS1’s “Rockaway!” program (2016) and Untitled Trumpet for the 56th Biennale di Venezia (2015).
