Works on Paper: 1995–2026
VeneKlasenVeneKlasen, New York is pleased to present Enrico David: Works on Paper 1995–2026. The exhibition is the first dedicated solely to the artist’s works on paper. “I have come to think of drawing as something that emerges from God knows where, prompting the question, ‘How can I help you?’ In that sense, all I can do is honor it and respond with the utmost gratitude, acceptance, and wonder. Through drawing, I am once again confronted by my own inadequacy in the face of something that requires so little to exist, and yet has the capacity to bring me so much hope.” —Enrico David Enrico David (b. 1966, Ancona, Italy) was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2009.
