Jutta Koether's First Asia Solo Exhibition at Empty Gallery

In Hong Kong, Empty Gallery showcases 'rEceNt WoRkS,' the inaugural solo exhibition by Jutta Koether in Greater Asia. This display includes a series of interconnected triptychs that interact with the gallery's distinctive spatial design. Koether's artistic approach fuses writing, painting, and performance, drawing on art history through selective references to renowned figures like Alberto Giacometti and Emily Brontë. Her paintings feature calligraphic black brushstrokes, catchphrases, and recurring motifs such as orbs, garlands, and stars. Originally from Cologne, Koether resides in Berlin and New York. She has been a faculty member at Hamburg University of Fine Arts from 2010 to 2024 and has also taught at Columbia University, Cooper Union, and Yale University. Her works are part of collections at MoMA, Whitney Museum, and Stedelijk Museum, and have been displayed at Museum Brandhorst and Mudam, among other prestigious venues.
