Hauser & Wirth is pleased to present its first exhibition dedicated to the work of celebrated painter Susan Rothenberg (1945 – 2020). The exhibition will present more than a dozen works drawn from the artist’s personal holdings and offer visitors a rare overview of the profound breadth of Rothenberg’s artwork.

Across the arc of her career, Rothenberg deployed strategies of doubling and division, fragmenting and reconstructing her subjects. Bodies come under pressure—they break apart, gather back together, multiply and dissolve within active fields of color. The exhibition is organized thematically and traces the progression of Rothenberg’s psychologically charged paintings, from the uncanny to the haunted and, ultimately, to the enigmatic specters that define her late work.

About the artist :

Susan Charna Rothenberg was born in Buffalo, New York, in 1945. She received her BFA from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, in 1967, having studied painting and sculpture. During and after college, Rothenberg traveled to Greece and Spain, respectively, briefly attending the Corcoran School of Art, then moving in 1969 to New York City, where she lived for the next twenty years.

Rothenberg was energized by the downtown New York art scene of the 1970s, fully immersed in its atmosphere of creative collaboration
