Victoria Miro, London
January 29 - March 21, 2020
In this first UK solo exhibition of works by Hedda Sterne, works are drawn principally from the early 1960s when, inspired by a year and a half spent living in Venice as a Fulbright fellow, Sterne created paintings composed of numerous horizontals that read as multiple horizon lines. These meditative Vertical-Horizontals are at once self-contained, having a kinship with minimalist abstraction, and poetic intimations of landscape, with water and sky seemingly repeated and reflected multiple times within a single image. Accompanied by a catalogue with new scholarship by Eleanor Nairne.
