Carroll Dunham: Drawing Sculpture
Audience
Keywords
In this collection of recent, never-before-shown works, we see Carroll Dunham thinking about sculpture through a series of drawings produced over the course of a year. A sampling of Dunham’s drawings across time offers a chart of his artistic evolution; the drawings presented here are distinctive to a new page within that history. Spurred by curiosity about the forms that he found himself doodling along the edges of a new group of paintings in 2023, Dunham began drawing fantasies of sculpture as a break from working on the paintings. The eighty drawings collected here offer intimate access to an artist’s process, tracing the emergence of a sculptural vocabulary as they explore spatial relationships, materials, and presentation for sculptures that don’t exist. A text by Dunham accompanies the drawings.
