Karen Kilimnik's Ninth Solo Show at Galerie Eva Presenhuber
Galerie Eva Presenhuber is hosting its ninth solo exhibition with US-American artist Karen Kilimnik. Since the late 1970s, Kilimnik has worked across drawing, painting, collage, mise-en-scène sculpture, photography, and video, maintaining conceptual precision. Her iconographic archive spans 17th- and 18th-century court painting, romantic landscapes, history painting, and references to popular culture, fashion, television, and movies. These sources appear not as linear quotations but as cultural recurring forms—pictorial formulas sedimented over history.
