Lisa Yuskavage’s tenth solo exhibition with the gallery since joining 20 years ago is now on view at our 19th Street gallery in New York. In this newest body of work, Yuskavage continues to explore depictions of fictionalized artist’s studios, establishing a dialogue with a tradition of studio portrayals by artists such as #GustaveCourbet, #HenriMatisse, #GeorgesBraque, #PhilipGuston, and #BruceNauman. As writer and curator Helen Molesworth noted in The New Yorker, “If you were going to make a list of the great paintings, a lot of them would be studio paintings. And the reality is there are not a lot of pictures like that by women. In my opinion, the scale and the ambition of [Yuskavage’s] work … is aimed squarely at The Museum—capital ‘T,’ capital ‘M’—as an institution.” Learn more: https://zwrnr.art/4rSuAfV — Lisa Yuskavage, Endless Studio (portal), 2025 (detail)
