MARLENE DUMAS - MARLENE DUMAS GEBUNDEN

Described by Deborah Solomon in a 2008 New York Times profile as 'one of contemporary art's
most compelling painters'  Marlene Dumas has continuously explored the complex range of human
emotions  often probing questions of gender  race  sexuality  and economic inequality through
herdramatic and at times haunting figural compositions. Originally published in 2010 on the
occasion of Against the Wall  Dumas's first solo presentation at David Zwirner in New York 
this much sought-after exhibition catalogue - which sold out shortly after publication - has
been reprinted in 2014 to coincide with the artist's European retrospective exhibition The
Image as Burden  organized by Tate Modern  London  in collaboration with the Stedelijk Museum 
Amsterdam  and the Fondation Beyeler  Basel  traveling through 2015. The large-scale works
included in Against the Wall areprimarily based on media imagery and newspaper clippings
documenting Israel and Palestine  exploring the tension between the photographic documentation
of reality and the constructed  imaginary space of painting. The sombre colour plates
reproduced in the publication are given context by Dumas's own musings  a text framed as a
letter to David Zwirner in which she tries to tell him 'about the why' of this powerful series
