Carroll Dunham

Since the 1970s, Carroll Dunham (born in 1949 in Connecticut) has developed a formal mastery of line, texture, and color to continually engage with new and recurring modes of art making. Drawing on the art historical canon as well as on pop culture, he revisits enduring themes that comprise our existence while simultaneously exploring the formal attributes of painting. Carroll Dunham has shown at international institutions including National Museum, Oslo; Kunsthalle Düsseldorf; Sprengel Museum, Hannover; Denver Art Museum, Denver; Museum Ludwig, Cologne; Millesgarden, Stockholm; Drammens Museum, Drammen, Norway; a mid-career retrospective was held at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, in 2002.
