Artist(s): Mark BRADFORD
Date: 31 Jan - 3 May 2015
Rockbund Art Museum is pleased to present the first major museum exhibition in Asia of the celebrated Los Angeles-based artist Mark Bradford. Commissioned specifically for this presentation, three monumental collage paintings will fill each of the gallery floors of the museum. These exuberant new works titled The Tears of a Tree, Falling Horses and Lazy Mountain are inspired by the artist’s visits to Shanghai and what he found to be the dynamic melding of disparate cultures, economies and functions in the city—the sprawl, heavy industry, old port city, the French Quarter, and the glamour of the nouveau riche.
The exhibition Mark Bradford:The Tears of a Tree is curated by Clara Kim, on view in Shanghai from January 31 to May 3, 2015.
