C茅sar in Context
Beginning May 5, 2016, Luxembourg & Dayan will present C茅sar in Context, an exhibition organized to celebrate the radically inventive and mutable practice of renowned French artist C茅sar (1921-1998). By placing a group of his key works in juxtaposition with contemporaneous masterpieces by American and European peers, the show draws attention to the most powerful tool of the artist鈥檚 practice: a lifelong penchant for experimentation with an ever-expanding arsenal of materials and techniques. Works on view trace the development of C茅sar鈥檚 oeuvre through his accumulated language of breakthroughs, which placed him not only within Nouveau R茅alisme with which he is most often associated, but also in league with such postwar art movements as Arte Povera, Neo-Dada, and Pop Art.
On view through July 2, C茅sar in Context presents sculptures by the artist in conversation with works by Lynda Benglis, Bram Bogart, 叠谤补蝉蝉补茂, Bernard Buffet, Alberto Burri, John Chamberlain, John de Andrea, Lucio Fontana, Alberto Giacometti, Piero Manzoni, Robert Morris, Robert Motherwell, Louise Nevelson, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, Martial Raysse, George Segal, and Tom Wesselmann.
