Georgia
Scherman Projects is pleased to announce a group show of
contemporary artwork from the Latner Family Collection.
A Subject Full of Suggestion, features work by
David Hammons, Glenn Ligon, Raymond Pettibon and Richard
Prince.
The
Latner Family Collection represents three generations of
collecting. It has been widely recognized for its longstanding
commitment to both modern and contemporary art. In recent
years the Latners have actively concentrated on contemporary
art. A Subject Full of Suggestion, presents a selection
of work from these acquisitions and, as curator Kitty Scott
explains, the exhibition invites us to look at “the
use of a kind of conceptual humour [that] only emerged as
a major component of contemporary art production in the
last twenty years or so.” As Scott continues to say,
“It is a development that lies at the very heart of
the works on view...”
An
essay by curator Kitty Scott has been written to accompany
this exhibition.
Scott is currently director of Visual Arts at The Banff
Centre, and was formerly curator of contemporary art at
the National Gallery, Ottawa and chief curator at the Serpentine
Gallery, London, UK.
Exhibition
hours are Tuesday-Friday, 10am to 5pm & Saturday, 11am
to 5pm.
