Marlene Dumas: Cycladic Blues

Publisher: Roma Publications

Publication Date: 2022

This cahier is a visual sketchbook for an exhibition by Marlene Dumas at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens, in dialogue with the museum's collection. Although the exhibition has been postponed towards 2025, this anticipatory publication already arose from Dumas' enthusiasm and affection for this combination. The enigmatic Cycladic antiquities, dating from 3000-2000 BC, speak to us in the same timeless language as Dumas' contemporary works.

Artist and Contributors

Marlene Dumas

Marlene Dumas (b. 1953) is regarded as one of the most influential painters working today. Her paintings and drawings, often devoted to depictions of the human form, are typically culled from the artist’s vast archive of images, including art historical materials, mass media sources, and personal snapshots of friends and family. Gestural, fluid, and frequently spectral, Dumas’s works reframe and re-contextualize her subjects, exploring the boundaries between public and private selves.
