Marlene Dumas, Cycladic Blues

This catalogue accompanied the exhibition "Marlene Dumas: Cycladic Blues" at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens, featuring over 40 paintings and works on paper, combined with over 30 antiquities from the museum’s collection. Grouped into categories – family portrait, erotic figure, fragmented body and portraits of sculptures – Dumas’s works enter into a dialogue with the abstracted human forms of Cycladic figurines created by unknown artists several millennia ago. 

With texts by Douglas Fogle, curator of the exhibition, and Marlene Dumas. Design: Roger Willems.
