Hauser & Wirth, New York is hosting an exhibition “Kline Rape” by Budapest-born New York based artist Rita Ackermann till January 14, 2017.The exhibition features two bodies of work – ‘Stretcher Bar Paintings’ and the ‘Kline Rape’ series. ‘Stretcher Bar Paintings’ take their title from the emergence of X-ray like imprints, which surface when impressions of paint and pigment become transpired with the structural presence of the picture plane itself. The artist preferred to keep this anomaly intact, forging the series after their disadvantage. In ‘Kline Rape,’ masculinity of Franz Kline’s iconic expressionism fuses with the provocatively sensual lines that signify the universal femininity.The exhibition is on view at Hauser & Wirth, 548 West 22nd Street, New York, NY 10011, USA.For details, visit: http://www.hauserwirth.com/Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek of the exhibition.
