Artists

Mamma Andersson

Press release

David Zwirner is pleased to present an exhibition of works on paper by Swedish artist Mamma Andersson (b. 1962) at the gallery’s Paris location. Andersson’s works recall late nineteenth-century Romanticism while also embracing a contemporary interest in layered, psychological compositions. Her enigmatic scenes draw inspiration from a wide range of archival photographic source materials, filmic imagery, theater sets, and period interiors, as well as the sparse topography of northern Sweden, where she grew up. This focused presentation on Andersson’s drawing and printmaking practice will feature new etchings made in Paris at intaglio workshop Atelier René Tazé alongside unique works on paper from the artist’s most recent body of work. It will be her sixth solo exhibition with the gallery, and follows Mamma Andersson: Adieu Maria Magdalena at David Zwirner Paris in 2023.
