The latest edition of #whitecube Salon focuses on Luc Tuymans’ intimate painting Bend Over (2001).
Exemplifying the artist’s mastery of pulling a great history into a small canvas, Bend Over (2001) simultaneously agitates and captivates the viewer, who cannot help but linger to trace the unusual contours of the partial form, while also wanting to turn their gaze away from the uncomfortable encounter.
The work can be viewed online until 31 May 2023 and at TEFAF New York (stand 355) from 11 – 16 May 2023.
