Julie Mehretu

This book explores the dynamic art of American artist Julie Mehretu through her large-scale paintings and drawings. Inspired by history, urban planning, and modernist structures, Mehretu's semi-abstract works delve into the intersections of power, history, the built environment, and identity formation. Featuring essays by Joan Young and Brian Dillon, and a section of photographs tracing the development of the series in the artist's Berlin studio, this monograph marks the exhibition of a new series of works commissioned by Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin.
