The Museum Of Contemporary Art Sydney Australia
My first pick for you, out of the several artists represented at this time, is Julie Mehretu.
The first exhibition dedicated to Julie Mehretu to be shown in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Part of the Sydney International Art Series 2024–25.Exclusive to Sydney, a major career survey of New York-based artist Julie Mehretu, widely regarded as one of the most significant painters of her generation.
American artist Julie Mehretu (b. 1970, Addis Ababa) is renowned for her powerful and often monumental works. Drawing on histories of art and architecture, they also speak to urgent contemporary issues such as revolution, migration, global capitalism and climate change. This exhibition will be the first dedicated to Mehretu to be shown in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Focusing on new and recent works, they include monumental and medium format paintings, as well as works on paper dating from the mid-1990s to the present.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a major publication with contributions from a range of authors, including Julie Mehretu and the exhibition curators Suzanne Cotter, MCA Director, and Jane Devery, Senior Curator, Exhibitions.
