An exhibition in honour of the life and work of Steve Wolfe (1955-2016) titled “Remembering Steve” will be on view at Luhring Augustine, New York from February 4 through March 11, 2017.“Remembering Steve” is comprised of sculptures and works on paper from the mid-1980s onwards; spanning the course of three decades. At the heart of Wolfe’s practice are iconic twentieth century works of literature, music, and visual art which inspired him and became the subject of his practice. Working in the tradition of tromp l’oeil (visual illusion in art), he re-created worn books and used records, primarily from the 1960s and 1970s, that have influenced his personal and artistic sensibilities. From his earliest mature work and throughout his career, his art explored the intersections between material culture, intellectual history, and personal and collective memory.The exhibition Remembering Steve opens on February 4, 2017 until March 11, 2017 at Luhring Augustine, 531 West 24th Street, New York, NY 10011.For details, visit: www.luhringaugustine.comClick on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.
