Hauser & Wirth is pleased to present its first exhibition dedicated to the work of celebrated painter Susan Rothenberg (1945 – 2020). The exhibition will present more than a dozen works drawn from the artist’s personal holdings and offer visitors a rare overview of the profound breadth of Rothenberg’s oeuvre. Across the arc of her career, Rothenberg deployed strategies of doubling and division, fragmenting and reconstructing her subjects. Bodies come under pressure—they break apart, gather back together, multiply and dissolve within active fields of color. The exhibition is organized thematically and traces the progression of Rothenberg’s psychologically charged paintings, from the uncanny to the haunted and, ultimately, to the enigmatic specters that define her late work.
