Ghada Amer: New Works
25 June - 27 July 2024
Marianne Boesky Gallery, Aspen
616 East Hyman Avenue

This summer, Ghada Amer (b. 1963, Cairo) will present all new work from two series: the Paravent Girls and QR CODES REVISITED. In a practice that spans painting, sculpture, ceramic, garden, and installation, Ghada Amer pulls at the threads of cultural dualities with sensitivity and specificity: feminine and masculine, craft and art, figuration and abstraction. Often appropriating sexualized imagery sourced from pornographic magazines, Amer subverts the masculinist tropes that permeate them, reimagining women in moments of ecstasy, pleasure, and tenderness.

Ghada Amer: New Works in Aspen will be on view parallel to the gallery's New York exhibitions, Material World (curated by Gina Beavers) and Sublime Spirit.
