MRINALINI MUKHERJEE
"PHENOMENAL NATURE"

June 4 ~ September 29, 2019

I was able to visit this exhibition very final day in the morning on Sunday, 29 September, 2019. 

Here is photos of the works, they are numbered so you can read information on booklet. I will come back to this post and give numbers to the images along with the booklet image later. For now, you still have all the images of works from this show from my point of view. 

To me, her earlier work, the fiber works in such large scale were interesting to me among all other works because of specific limitations/restrictions and also advantages the material has.

Still well stocked booklets on a last day of the exhibition. 

The Met Breuer

Exhibition Overview by Met Museum

Phenomenal Nature marks the first retrospective of the artist in the United States. The exhibition brings together fifty-seven works by Mukherjee and explores the artist's longstanding engagement with fiber, along with her significant forays into ceramic and bronze towards the middle and latter half of her career.

A committed sculptor who worked intuitively, Mukherjee explored the divide between figuration and abstraction. Nature was her primary inspiration, and she was further informed by her enthusiasm for Indian historic sculpture, modern design, and local crafts and textile traditions. Phenomenal Nature highlights the radical intervention Mukherjee made in her adaptation of crafting techniques with a modernist formalism.
