GROUP SHOW: Eau de Cologne
Adrian Rosenfeld Gallery, 1150 25TH ST, San Francisco
January 14 – February 11, 2017
Adrian Rosenfeld Gallery’s inaugural exhibition, Eau de Cologne, is a special collaboration with iconic art dealers Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers. Featured artists include Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler, Cindy Sherman, and Rosemarie Trockel.
Founded in 1983, Monika Sprüth’s Gallery in Cologne, Germany showed a deep commitment to women artists. From 1985 to 1989, she produced three magazines called “Eau de Cologne” and three shows of the same title that included works by the artists presented in this exhibition. In their most recent exhibitions in Berlin and Los Angeles, Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers reconsider their own history together as the gallery Sprüth Magers. The works on view in San Francisco are an excerpt of these five shows and date from the early 70s through today, examining forms of political and aesthetic engagement from the perspective of five of the most recognized voices in contemporary art.
