John Currin
UNITED STATES
NEW YORK  •  Whitney Museum of American Art  •  Ongoing
 		  
The exhibition is organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art‚ Chicago‚ where it made its debut in May 2003‚ in collaboration with London’s Serpentine Gallery. This survey exhibition includes approximately forty paintings from the past decade.

In the last decade‚ John Currin (b. 1962) has come to be recognized as one of the most important and provocative artists of his generation. His work is inspired by images ranging from Italian and Northern Renaissance figure paintings to modern and contemporary magazine advertisements and fashion photographs. Featured in the Whitney’s 2000 Biennial‚ Currin’s paintings explore issues of beauty‚ representation‚ and desire through the presentation of the physical body and human relationships.
