Julie Mehretu, co-organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and the Whitney Museum of American Art, is Mehretu's first comprehensive survey featuring her meticulously crafted paintings, drawings, and prints. The exhibition includes the following works: early work influenced by the notion of cities as sociopolitical constructs; complex paintings built up in layers of colors, lines, brushstrokes, and architectural renderings; and recent predominantly abstract, gestural work. The exhibition reveals the evolution of her work and its proximity to abstraction over the past two decades.
