Book Synopsis:
A Dumas retrospective as seen through the painter's 25-year relationship with her Dutch gallery.
This catalog presents a 25-year overview of all Marlene Dumas' (born 1953) works shown at Zeno X Gallery in Antwerp. Since 1993 Dumas has presented five solo exhibitions in the gallery, respectively titled Give the People What They Want, Time and Again, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Twice (a show with Luc Tuymans) and Double Takes, her 2020 show that featured a series of paintings inspired by Baudelaire's Paris Spleen, as well as a series of portraits. The combined shows amount to a retrospective of the artist's career of rich sensual figuration drawing on political discourse, personal experience, and art history. Because of their long partnership with the artist, Zeno X Gallery is uniquely positioned to illustrate how Dumas' work has changed over that period. The book includes texts by the artist as well as newspaper articles and archival photographs.
