Over a prolific twenty-year period, Kaari Upson created a powerful body of work that mined the emotional linkages and traumas embedded within the objects and architectures that surround us every day. Working across sculpture, painting, drawing, installation, performance and video, the artist explored relationships between the self and others, between inner life and external reality, and the doublings and repetitions that continually resurface in our past and present. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are honored to present the first solo exhibition of Upson’s work in Los Angeles in over a decade, and the first in the United States since her death in 2021. Titled by the artist, the exhibition premieres several new series that demonstrate an artist at the height of her creative powers.
Please join us to celebrate the opening of the exhibition on August 3rd, 6-9 PM. The exhibition will run from August 4th through October 8th.
