MARC STRAUS presents its first solo exhibition of work by Hermann Nitsch, which will feature 17 paintings by Nitsch from his distinguished 55-year career. These paintings are the splattered products of his theatrical and many times, bloody performances where the human body becomes a vehicle. His ritualistic performances have featured religious sacrifices, mock crucifixion, blood, entrails, and dancing nude participants.
Hermann Nitsch is an original member of the Viennese Actionists and one of Austria’s most important artists.
