Topic: RSS FeedOlivier Mosset: Musee Cantonal des Beaux-Arts de Lausanne/Kunstmuseum St. Gallen - Lausanne/St. Gallen - Brief Article
ArtForum, May, 2003 by Felicity Lunn
Nearly twenty years after his last retrospective, this bipartite exhibition proposes a rereading of Olivier Mosset's influential abstract painting in the context of current practice, based on a nonchronological presentation of distinct groups of work made between 1966 and 2003. Organized by Lionel Bovier of the Musee Cantonal des Beaux-Arts de Lausanne and Roland Waspe of the Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, the ninety-work show focuses on the large-format monochromes produced in 1990 for the Venice Biennale and the "shaped canvases" of the '90s. The accompanying monograph includes texts by Michel Gauthier and Florian Vetsch, as well as an interview with the artist.
Lausanne, May 22-Aug. 24; St. Gallen, May 23-Aug. 10.
