Join one of our educators for a guided tour in the exhibition Lutz Bacher: Burning the Days.

Get to know this landmark exhibition which offers an expansive view of Bacher’s provocative, genre-defying oeuvre, spanning five decades of uncompromising art with an unsettling mix of affect and sentiment, humor, pop-cultural touchstones, and unflinching examinations of sexuality, violence, political paranoia, and cosmic metaphysics.

Lutz Bacher lived in Berkeley, California and later New York City. As an artist, Bacher spent her life grappling with the political and psychic undertow of the last American century. A number of the subjects in Burning the Days are iconic American symbols: presidents, bison, widows, weapons, and would be assassins. Her art was animated from this violent outside, but much also emerged from questions inside, twinkling with a more intimate and existential register—Who might Lutz Bacher be?  What might she do as an artist? What might her art mean right now, or later?

“Little of her work is easy to understand, but nearly all of it is easy to love.”
– Alex Greenberger, Senior Editor, ARTnews

The tour is included in the entrance ticket and will be held in Norwegian.
