CAMERON

APRIL 22 - JULY 25

The expansive art of Cameron (1922-1995) returns to New York for a solo exhibition with Nicole Klagsbrun, who organized the artist’s first solo exhibition in the city in 2007. This exhibition is an opportunity to rediscover an artist whose life and practice have long captivated those seeking to understand the intersections of surrealism, ritual, and representation.

After serving in the U.S. Navy as a cartographer, Cameron became a central figure in both the Los Angeles art scene and the world of occultism. She starred in Kenneth Anger’s Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (1954) and collaborated with the artists and poets she mentored, including Wallace Berman and George Herms. This exhibition showcases the breadth of Cameron’s output, from spellbinding abstract drawings to high-contrast graphic figures. Cameron blurs the lines between the mystical and artistic, drawing viewers into a world where dreamlike scenes and esoteric themes reign supreme.
