Two Summer Group Shows at Lehmann Maupin, New York, 27 June - 16 August 2013
Lehmann Maupin announces the opening of two summer group shows at 540 West 26th Street and 201 Chrystie Street, New York.
The exhibition at 540 West 26th Street gallery comprises the work of three artists – HERNAN BAS, ANNE CHU, and KLARA KRISTALOVA – connected by a shared interest in the wildly imaginative nature of storytelling, and the visual fusion of fantasy and reality in a narrative context.

The works on view include new drawings by HERNAN BAS, completed during a recent residency at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas. While all three artists look to literature as a primary source of inspiration, Herman Bas’s fascination with the paranormal and bizarre traces back to his childhood.

MAYA LIN’s use of technological methods to study topographical and geographic phenomena presents viewers with the opportunity to experience the natural world through a twenty-first century lens, and demonstrates the artist’s ability to translate the enormity of our world, in this case the Arctic, to a scale that is more relatable.
