UNLIMITED - ART BASEL 2019
June 13 - 16, 2019
Basel, Swiss
For Unlimited, we present an exceptional collection, entitled Halifax Collection , of forty-four vintage works by American photographer and performer Martha Wilson, in collaboration with the PPOW Gallery in New York.
This collection reveals Wilson's pioneering and precursory approach within New York artistic landscape of the 1970's. Lucy Lippard immediately contextualized Wilson's works within the framework of conceptual practice; her works prefigure works such as those of Martha Rosler and Cindy Sherman. It is during this pivotal period in the history of art that Martha Wilson raises questions that will appear essential to her entire generation and to following generations.
Martha Wilson does therefore not consider photography as an image but rather as a counter-image, since it shifts political, social and cultural values. She instructs our view on the new world to which she invites us.
