Lynn Hershman Leeson, Suzy Lake, Martha Wilson - PARIS+ par Art Basel - Art fairmfc-michèle didier | Paris - Brussels -
On the occasion of the first edition of Paris +, we are honoured to present an exhibition of the famous american-canadian artist Suzy Lake, put into perspective with the work of two major artists of her generation, Lynn Hershman Leeson and Martha Wilson. This exceptional event is a Europe Premiere. We present major historical artworks at the fair from the seventies that are getting increasing attention from international curators and institutions, with some works like: On Stage (1972-74) a series of 84 prints, presented and acclaimed this year at Art Basel.
While comparable to experiments by Ana Mendieta, Lake exerts high levels of exacting labour and compositional craft, using a range of masks and stencils in order to achieve the effect of a seamless transition from one self to another. In the booth, we will also associate Lake's works with three significant works by Lynn Hershman Leeson from her Roberta Brightmore series and a work by Martha Wilson.
