Nick Cave: Forothermore

Nick Cave: Forothermore features sculpture, installation, video, and rarely seen early works by the internationally celebrated visual artist. The title is a neologism, a new word that reflects the artist’s lifelong commitment to creating space for those who feel marginalized by dominant society and culture—especially working-class communities and queer #people of color. 

From February 21 to March 30, enjoy discounted admission to Forothermore while we change exhibitions in the rotunda.

“There’s a graceful, ethical consideration about material acquisition, and a haunting evocation of the ways time folds in on itself—how nothing is ever really lost, not even creepy lawn ornaments, if they’re remembered.” New York Times

Forothermore brings the scope of this work into one #show looking at the past, present, and future of the artist’s practice.” —V Magazine

“The #guggenheim #show balances opposite emotional extremes with great theatricality.” Financial Times

“Regardless of how one sees the pieces, it’s really more about how they’ll feel when experiencing them. And his pieces have power in a similar way that the social movements and struggles they reflect have power." WWD
