Julie Mehretu Ghosthymn Poster

For more than two decades, Julie Mehretu has been engaged in a deep exploration of painting. She creates new forms and finds unexpected resonances by drawing from the histories of art and human civilization—from Babylonian stelae to architectural sketches, from European history painting to the sites and symbols of African liberation movements. Some of Mehretu’s imagery and titles hint at their representational origins, but her work remains steadfastly abstract.

Made exclusively for the Whitney Shop by Hollywood's Paper Chase Press, this rolled poster features Mehretu's Ghosthymn (after the Raft), 2019-21 created on the occasion of Julie Mehretu, held from Mar 25-Aug 8, 2021.
