Galerie Lelong & Co., New York, is pleased to participate in Frieze London 2024 with a group presentation focused on depictions of femininity. Featuring works by Ana Mendieta, Yoko Ono, Martha Rosler, Pinaree Sanpitak, and Nancy Spero—five artists of different generations and nationalities working in varying mediums—the presentation highlights the gallery’s longstanding commitment to championing women artists.
An early work by Ana Mendieta, Untitled (Facial Hair Transplants) (1972), made when she was a graduate student at the University of Iowa, will be on view. In this performative act, Mendieta slowly and deliberately transferred the facial hair of a friend onto her own face in the Intermedia studio at the university. Of the work, Mendieta wrote: "I like the idea of transferring hair from one person to another because I think it gives me that person’s strength." A new painting by Sanpitak, Within the Body (2024), will make its debut at the fair. Following the birth of her son, Sanpitak
centered representations of the breast in her practice to epitomize the beauty she found in the experience. Through North American Waitress, Coffee-Shop Variety (Know Your Servant Series, No. 1) (1976), Rosler interrogates the exploitation of women's labor, highlighting through a series of diagrams and documentation mimicking a field guide the inhuman and unattainable standards set for women. The presentation will also include works on paper by Yoko Ono and Nancy Spero. Ono’s art has long pioneered the ideas of feminism, and a suite of drawings that depict abstracted bodily forms will be on view. A sculptural installation and large-scale frieze by Spero in her signature styles of collage and printing demonstrate how the artist pushed the medium beyond its conventions and are populated by depictions of women originating from diverse cultures that Spero incorporated into her print-making lexicon.
