Museo Stefano Bardini, Florence, Italy

Through reference, appropriation, and investigation, Glenn Brown presents a contemporary reading of images new and remembered. In this exhibition, whose title translates to Unknown Pleasures, borrowed figures and landscapes are subjected to a thoughtful and extended process of development in which they gradually transform into compelling entities. His works are placed alongside the renowned collection of Stefano Bardini.

True Faith explores the ongoing significance and legacy of New Order and Joy Division through the wealth of visual art their music has inspired. Centering on four decades’ worth of contemporary artworks created in dialogue with their music, as well as a selection of rarely seen personal materials, the exhibition provides a unique perspective on these two iconic and influential Manchester bands. Work by Glenn Brown is included.

September 9, 2016–January 15, 2017
Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati

Featuring more than thirty paintings, sculptures, and prints, Glenn Brown is the first solo museum exhibition in the United States to survey the artist’s work. Painting steadily over the last three decades, Brown crafts paintings with an immaculate, almost supernatural level of detail and fluidity, borrowing from old masters such as Rembrandt van Rijn and Jean-Honoré Fragonard as well as from contemporary artists such as Frank Auerbach and Willem de Kooning. This exhibition traveled from the Des Moines Art Center in Iowa.
