Pace Prints is pleased to announce the release of our first edition with internationally exhibited artist Anne-Karin Furunes. The cut paper work, Portraits from Archive/Portrait I, was débuted at Art Basel 42 and is now available.
Anne-Karin Furunes was born in Trondheim, Norway in 1961. She currently lives and works in Trondheim.
She creates haunting large-scale paintings of faces and landscapes by perforating the surface of black or white canvas or unpainted aluminum with hundreds of handmade holes. Her portraits are taken from photographs in a Swedish archive devoted to the now-discredited notion of categorizing people by race, ethnicity, and mental capacity. Furunes’ work is concerned with issues relating to memory, history, and the nature of photographic reality.
