Eva Robarts' Third Solo Show at Berthold Pott Opens During DC Open
The Berthold Pott Gallery in Cologne is set to unveil "A Trip To The Coast," the third solo showcase by American artist Eva Robarts, on September 4, 2026, coinciding with DC Open. This exhibition will highlight new pieces from Robarts' Weavings series, along with her paintings, drawings, and a video premiere. During her strolls in cities like New York and Miami, Robarts gathers discarded materials, which she later disassembles and reconfigures in her studio. The Weavings are wall-mounted reliefs crafted from broom handles, reflecting their pasts. The show will also display recent works that delve into themes of line, structure, and spatial arrangement. Robarts (b. 1982, Miami) resides in Brooklyn and earned a BFA in Sculpture from Pratt Institute, with international exhibitions to her credit.
