Hedda Sterne: Metamorphoses is now open at Victoria Miro Venice — join us for a private view tonight, Saturday 5 November, 5–7pm. This exhibition includes important 'lettuce' paintings from 1967. Created by pouring thinned acrylic paint on to raw canvas, Sterne accepted the element of chance and then returned to the canvases to reinterpret and draw out the forms through the addition of lines or swathes of overpainting. She likened the forms that emerged to the dense folds of lettuce leaves, which for Sterne became metaphors for growth and metamorphosis. On view 5 November–10 December — tap the link in bio to see more. - Image: Hedda Sterne, Metamorphoses XIII, 1967.
