Paul McCarthy. A&E Sessions – Drawing and Painting

About

To visit the exhibition, book a timed viewing appointment here.

Beginning 23 February, Hauser & Wirth will present new drawings, paintings, sculpture and sound work by the celebrated American artist Paul McCarthy that confront the complex mechanisms of power, politics, desire, and history.

Central to the exhibition is a series of large-scale drawings from McCarthy’s most recent multi-disciplinary project ‘A&E.’ Created by the artist during improvised performances involving himself and German actor Lilith Stangenberg, these works serve as documentation of both McCarthy’s incisive critical lens and his practice of synthesizing performance, film, painting, drawing, sculpture, and sound.
