Roni Horn: Butterfly to Oblivion

In her exhibition Butterfly to Oblivion, American artist Roni Horn presents new, monumental glass sculptures as well as large-format pigment drawings and photographs. These latter share the common characteristic of having been cut up and reassembled, creating images infused with sustained tension and cohesion. It is in this force of their figuration that a certain affinity with the drawings of Van Gogh makes itself felt. Roni Horn is also showing works from her most recent Hack Wit series, in which idiomatic expressions are deconstructed, recombined and thereby reborn in new, poetic and graphic forms.
