With a title like «The Freak Show,» we might have expected to see Damien Hirst's creatures in formaldehyde, Ron Mueck's
giants, or even Maurizio Cattelan's Pope John Paul II crushed
by a
meteorite.
An unconventional artist who has been at the center of the Berlin art scene for nearly three decades (she used to be married to Gerhard Richter), Genzken — whose aesthetic approach might be best expressed
by the title of her 2000 series «Fuck the Bauhaus» — is now about to hit New York like an ore - rich
meteorite with the opening of her
giant new retrospective at MoMA.
