LAWRENCE CARROLL

Lawrence Carroll’s nuanced body of work is situated between painting and sculpture. Over the course of more than thirty-five years, the artist created a remarkably diverse and rigorous body of work distinguished by a unique poetic presence.

Carroll studied at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and at the Otis Art Institute, Los Angeles. In 1989, he was invited by Harald Szeemann to participate in the Einleuchten exhibition at the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg, and in 1992 he took part in Jan Hoet’s documenta IX. In 2013, he participated in the 55th Venice Biennale at the Vatican Pavilion. Important exhibition venues include Power Plant Toronto (1994), Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane, Dublin (2012), MAMbo Bologna (2014), Kunstmuseum Magdeburg (2017), and Madre Naples (2022).

The artist’s works are represented in important collections such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum New York City, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Los Angeles (LACMA), the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, the Margulies Collection in Miami, the Jumex Collection in Mexico City, the Panza Collection Varese, and the Wemhöner Collection Herford/Berlin. Buchmann Gallery Berlin/Lugano has represented the artist since 1994 and has presented his work in twelve solo exhibitions.
