‘Ida has been a powerful force within the feminist movement since the 1970s, forging her own unique identity as an artist and woman, mother and wife,’ says Manuela Wirth, President Hauser & Wirth. ‘Relentless in her capacity for expansive visual experimentation, she interrogated themes of violence and power, human relations, her own body and domestic space. Her emotionally disruptive and fearless approach to making art has been an inspiration to many generations, intensely personal, honest and raw. We are eternally grateful for her humour, wit and radical introspection, presenting the absurdities of life as it is.’
‘The documentary reveals a woman as layered, wry and dark as the artwork that’s won her Guggenheim and MacArthur Foundation Fellowships, amid plenty of other recognition,’ says Julia Felsenthal in VOGUE. ‘Applebroog’s art is intimate and political, confessional and sometimes exhibitionist.’

Applebroog’s paintings from the early 1990s are included in Hauser & Wirth’s forthcoming group exhibition ‘RETROaction,’ opening at our Upper East Side location on 69th Street from 15 November and traveling to Downtown Los Angeles in February.
