Nicole Eisenman: What Happened

From drawing and painting to printmaking and sculpture, the work of Nicole Eisenman (born 1965) combines formal experimentation with wide-ranging references to art history. Her critical and often humorous commentary on the ever-changing nature of public life consistently challenges power structures and normative conceptions of gender.
Nicole Eisenman: What Happened documents the breadth of the artist’s career with over 200 color illustrations, explored in 10 newly commissioned texts. Essays by curators Mark Godfrey and Monika Bayer-Wermuth survey developments in Eisenman’s work since the 1990s, while Chloe Wyma considers Eisenman’s recent engagements with national and institutional politics.
