ART > Paul McCarthy @ Moderna Museet

During the summer of 2006 Moderna Museet will present the largest and most comprehensive survey of American artist Paul McCarthy’s work to date. McCarthy (b. 1945) is one of his generation's most influential artists. Although he has been active for almost 40 years, he did not become known to the general public until the early 1990s. In his work McCarthy undertakes a critical processing of myths and stereotypes generated by American popular culture and how these, often embellished images collide with a reality filled with violence, pornography and madness. McCarthy has worked in a variety of techniques, including installation, sculpture, film and photography. The exhibition will contain work from the artist’s entire career and will include examples of all aspects of his work.

Please note! The exhibition includes works that may be disturbing to sensitive persons. The exhibition is not suitable for children.

Admission free!
