Judith Bernstein

Kasmin is thrilled to present ANGRY BITCHES, the first focused exhibition of Judith Bernstein’s Word Drawings (1989-2009) on the occasion of the Independent Art Fair in May 2023. Expressionistically rendered in charcoal on paper, these works depict texts in an explosively gestural manner, recalling the artist’s iconic anthropomorphic screw drawings from 1969 onwards, as well as Signature Piece (1986), a mural-scaled drawing of the artist’s own name. Bernstein’s choices of words range from the stately Truth, Justice, and Liberty to the more sinister Evil and Fear (all 1995), and the humorous and outrageous Angry Bitches (2009).

Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Judith Bernstein, who has joined the gallery’s roster of artists. The exhibition, entitled Money Shot, is on view from January 18 to March 3, 2018 at 293 Tenth Avenue and features eight new large-scale paintings that emphatically continue the artist’s incendiary political critique of the current Trump administration. In the artist’s words, “I am showing Trump for what he is: a fool, a monster, a jester, a sexist, a racist. Donald Trump is a con artist, using the White House as his own personal cash machine.”
