The Martin-Gropius-Bau presents an exhibition of works by the American artist Barbara Bloom. In a world saturated with images, Barbara Bloom makes visually abundant art that examines the nature of looking. Internationally known for her meticulously crafted works that are precisely detailed and flawlessly executed, Bloom rarely presents a singular image or object, but concerns herself with the relationships between objects and images, and the meanings implicit in their placement and combination. Bloom’s artwork uses beauty as a premise for investigating illusion, fragility, and transience.
