lutz bacher retrospective oslo brussels

The article reviews the first posthumous retrospective of the elusive artist Lutz Bacher, titled "Burning the Days," at the Astrup Fearnley Museum in Oslo. Bacher, who died in 2019 and whose real name was never revealed, is known for her use of found photographs and a pseudonym that led many to mistake her for a German man. The exhibition opens with her work "The Lee Harvey Oswald Interview" (1976–78), in which she discusses photography and perception by using Oswald as a stand-in, and includes other pieces such as "Jackie & Me" (1989) and "Men at War" (1975), all exploring how images and narratives produce meaning.

The elusive artist Cady Noland has made a shock return: will it impact her reputation?

The elusive artist Cady Noland has made a shock return with a sprawling exhibition of almost entirely new work at Gagosian’s 555 West 24th Street space in New York. After withdrawing from the public eye for over a decade and becoming infamous for disavowing her own works and suing collectors over attribution, Noland re-emerged with a survey show at Frankfurt’s Museum of Modern Art in 2018, followed by commercial shows at Galerie Buchholz in 2021 and Gagosian in 2023. Her latest exhibition, featuring 38 entries mostly made this year, was a hit, with many works placed with major collectors and institutions.

art cady noland thomas eggerer jochen klein

Cultured magazine reviews Cady Noland's 2025 exhibition at Gagosian Gallery's 24th Street location in New York, running through October 18. The show features the artist's signature objects—Budweiser cans, shotgun shells, barricades, and images of Patty Hearst and Lee Harvey Oswald—arranged in a fragmented, almost sale-like display. The review notes the inclusion of Steven Parrino's works alongside Noland's, referencing their collaboration at White Columns in 1988, and highlights new elements like "SALE" signs with manicule illustrations. The critic describes the exhibition as a "fascinating mess" rather than a straightforward success.
