Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present Andreas Schulze’s first exhibition at the New York gallery, Cake, featuring new paintings from a body of work shown publicly for the first time. Cake is a motif that the artist has revisited at different points in his career. As a subject involved with presentation, decoration, pleasure and everyday comforts, it also encapsulates many of the ideas around staging, color, emotion and the details of daily life that Schulze has explored across nearly five decades of painting. In shades of whipped cream and fruit-filled abstractions, the works illustrate Schulze’s unique picturing of the world as well as his layered references to popular culture and art history.
