Sherrie Levine: Hong Kong Dominoes

David Zwirner is pleased to present work by American artist Sherrie Levine (b. 1947) at the gallery’s Hong Kong location. The exhibition will showcase several bodies of work that are central to Levine’s practice, and that distinctly engage the artist’s ongoing inquiry into notions of authorship, originality, and authenticity. 

On view will be Hong Kong Dominoes (2017), a suite of twelve paintings on mahogany that replicate the surface of a group of dominoes that Levine purchased on a trip to Hong Kong in 2012, as well as twenty-two never-before-seen After Matisse drawings from 1985 from the artist’s own collection, alongside a selection of recent sculptures and photographs. 

Levine rose to prominence as a member of the Pictures Generation, a group of artists based in New York in the late 1970s and 1980s whose work examined the structures of signification underlying mass-circulated images, and, in many cases, directly appropriated these images in order to imbue them with new, critically inflected meaning. Since then, Levine has created a singular and complex body of work in a variety of media that often explicitly reproduces artworks and motifs from the Western art-historical canon.

This will be the artist’s fourth solo exhibition with David Zwirner, and her first at the gallery’s Hong Kong location.

卓納香港欣然宣布即將舉辦美國藝術家謝麗·利文(Sherrie Levine,b. 1947)的個展。展覽將呈現利文的藝術實踐中幾組至關重要的創作,突顯藝術家對創作者身份、原創性和真實性等概念的持續探究。

本次展出的作品包括《香港多米諾》(2017),一套十二件的紅木繪畫,複製了利文2012年在香港旅遊時購買的多米諾骨牌;此外還有二十二件此前從未展出過的《仿馬蒂斯》畫作,由藝術家於1985年基於自己的收藏而展開創作;以及一系列近期的雕塑和攝影作品。

利文最初作為「圖像一代」(Pictures Generation)的代表人物嶄露頭角,這群藝術家活躍於1970年代末至1980年代的紐約,他們的作品審視了流行圖像中潛在的意義結構,且常直接挪用這類圖像,以引入嶄新的批判意義。此後,利文用多媒介形式創作出獨特而復雜的作品,毫不避諱地直接複製來自西方藝術史經典的作品及主題。

這將是利文在卓納畫廊的第四次個展,也是藝術家在畫廊香港空間的首展。
