Nicole Eisenman, Selfie, 2014

From the Current Issue

Radical Jewishness

Caspar Heinemann argues that curators have downplayed Nicole Eisenman’s politics

The framing at Whitechapel Gallery not only depoliticises Nicole Eisenman’s family history, but also reduces her own engagement with the artistic styles mentioned to one of passive nostalgia.
