Rebecca Horn, Labyrinth of the Soul: Drawings 1965-2015 at Sean Kelly

Labyrinth of the Soul: Drawings 1965-2015 is a major exhibition featuring fifty years of drawing by Rebecca Horn at Sean Kelly, New York. This historical presentation, which includes rarely seen works on paper, is Horn’s first exhibition with the gallery in nine years. This significant survey is the first opportunity for visitors to see many of these critically important works, most of which have never been shown in the United States. The occasion also marks the thirty-four-year professional relationship between Rebecca Horn and Sean Kelly.

This extraordinary exhibition includes 55 works on paper, is the first dedicated exclusively to this aspect of Rebecca Horn’s practice, and the most extensive presentation of her work in the United States since her major retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum, New York, in 1993, curated by Germano Celant. From her earliest stages as an artist, drawing has been foundational and informed every aspect of Horn’s multi-faceted oeuvre, ranging from performances, which utilize bodily extensions, to feature films, poems, dynamic sculptures, and site-specific installations. Throughout her career, drawing has occupied a central role, with Horn working serially at different moments to create specific bodies of work, ranging from smaller, more intimate pieces to the later, large Bodylandscape works on paper.
