Luchita Hurtado: I Live I Die I Will Be Reborn
Posted by Fabio 21 February 2020
The first career survey of paintings and works on paper by multifaceted artist Luchita Hurtado (Venezuela, b. 1920) at Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Prior to 2016, the remarkable breadth of Hurtado’s eight-decade career was virtually unknown, as her works were kept in storage and out of public view for most of her life. This exhibition will introduce museum audiences to several distinct bodies of work, including Hurtado’s early forays into abstraction, her consistent use of the body as a subject, her experiments with language, and her recent engagement with issues of environment and ecology. Hurtado has lived and worked in Santa Monica since the early 1950s. In 2019 she was named to the Time 100 list of most influential people.
