Caro Niederer: Waiting for Returns

Opening: Friday 29 August, 6 – 8pm

Uncontrived images are wrought large and luxurious in Caro Niederer’s new works. Everyday scenes have been captured as photographs, then hand knotted into three-metre-long silk carpets in China. These are cultural returns upon ordinary moments, untroubled images whose details have been painstakingly knotted into lustre.

A series of new paintings, all made in the past year, are also on display at Hauser & Wirth Zürich. Expressionistic in their style, they describe the emotion rather than the facts of their scenes suggesting nostalgia's distillation of the stuff of existence.

A catalogue featuring 60 colour plates and a short story by the writer Irene Dische, has been published by Steidl Hauser & Wirth on the occasion of the exhibition.
