** Julie Mehretu (b. 1970) - Untitled, 2006 watercolour, pen and ink on paper 27 x 35 in., 68.6 x 88.9 cm (frame) Provenance: Carlier | Gebauer, Berlin. Of Ethiopian heritage, now living and working in New York, Mehretu's highly individualistic abstract language is born out of conflict and human strife. Her compositions are often marked with linear structures and hard-edged blocks that have an architectural quality to them. There is always a sense of drama or tension in the composition, which at times can spill over into outright confrontation. But the overall product is often beautiful and harmonious; it is as if she is telling us that Art, and the world of aesthetics, can overcome the human predilection for schism and hostility. She herself describes the works on paper from this period as: " Right now it just feels like this big knot of all these different tendencies. It s coming out in my drawings a lot; they look like these nests or gnarled webs. Space is deflated and conflated. I m still trying to understand it myself." [J. Mehretu, quoted in L. Chua, Artists in Conversation: Julie Mehretu , BOMB Magazine, no. 91, Spring 2005]. Julie Mehretu has become one of the most recognisable artists of the last 15 years, with multiple solo exhibitions in both commercial and institutional galleries worldwide. Selected group exhibitions include Poetic Justice , 8th Istanbul Biennial (2003); Whitney Biennial; São Paolo Biennial and Carnegie International, Pittsburgh (2004); the Biennale of Sydney and the Museum of Modern Art, New York (2006); From Picasso to Julie Mehretu , British Museum, London (2010) and Document XIII, Kassel (2012). Solo exhibitions include Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; REDCAT, Los Angeles and Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo (2003); St Louis Art Museum (2005) and MUSAC, Léon, Spain (2006); City Sitings , Detroit Institute of Art and Black City Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek, Denmark (2007); Grey Area , Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin (2009) and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (2010). In 2015 she was honoured with the US State Department's 'National Medal of Arts'.
