To celebrate the closing day of Red Brush and Other Situations, Liliana Porter’s tenth solo exhibition at Sicardi | Ayers | Bacino, please join us for a virtual video screening.
A native of Buenos Aires, Liliana Porter (Argentina, b. 1941) moved to New York in 1964, where she co-founded the New York Graphic Workshop. Porter’s art engages with notions of time, memory, and the human condition through the forms and movements of small flea-market figurines and found objects across austere backgrounds. Her dry wit and sophisticated sensibility carry through across media, from painting and printmaking to video and installation. Porter’s work is included in the permanent collections of many museums worldwide, including Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Tate Modern, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH), Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), and Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA).
