Julia Mangold | Works on Paper
March 3 - April 9, 2022
Elizabeth Leach Gallery is pleased to present Julia Mangold’s new series of geometric graphite drawings featuring the remarkable complexity and restraint of her image-making process. Mangold is a Munich-born minimalist sculptor whose works on paper are created through precise technique and image construction. Her interest in formalism is evident throughout the series of hazy grey squares and rectangles, their edges forming a linear maze of negative space between them. Even the most subtle gradations of Mangold’s marks transmit volume, depth and softly glowing effects that resonate with physicality.
Julia Mangold is a minimalist sculptor whose work explores shape, form and materiality. Her sculpture and works on paper are at once rigorous and formal, yet also very sensual. Mangold has exhibited nationally and internationally and her work is included in the collections of the Busch-Reisinger Museum, Harvard University (Cambridge, MA), Yale University Art Museum (New Haven, CT), Museum of Fine Arts Houston (Houston, TX), the Museum of Modern Art (New York, NY) and the Deutscher Bundestag (Berlin, Germany). In 2015, Mangold was the subject of a solo exhibition at the Mies van der Rohe Haus in Berlin, Germany.
