  • Catalogue Essay

    Carol Bove’s Women in Venice delves into the political history of the Venice Biennale. The title of the exhibition alongside the royal blue cubist sculptures explicitly reference Alberto Giacometti who continually declined the invitation to represent Switzerland at the Biennale. He instead considered himself to be an international artist. Furthermore the sculptures relate to the physicality and materiality of Giacometti’s creative output. In keeping with this profound connection to Modernism, Ars Moriendo, 2004, aesthetically recalls the work of John Chamberlain, Tony Smith, Alexander Liberman and Anthony Caro while espousing a contemporary and feminine aesthetic.
