My Name is Maryan
Curated by Alison Gingeras
A monographic presentation of four decades of paintings, sculptures, drawings, and film by the iconoclastic, groundbreaking Polish-born artist Maryan. Drawing upon new scholarship and a trove of never before exhibited works, My Name is Maryan will be the first retrospective to examine all periods of Maryan’s life and work. Maryan’s extraordinary biography and prolific oeuvre represent a deeply moving monument to the perseverance of the human spirit and the power of art to work through traumatic loss.
Drawing upon new scholarship and a trove of never-before-exhibited works from the artist’s estate, My Name is Maryan will be the first retrospective to holistically examine all periods of Maryan’s life and work. Throughout the museum, Maryan’s extraordinary biography and prolific oeuvre represent a deeply moving monument to the perseverance of the human spirit and the power of art to work through traumatic loss. Credited as being among the first artist-eyewitnesses to directly depict their experiences of the Shoah, Maryan’s unique approach to figurative art strove solidarity across cultures and generations.
