Leonora Carrington's mystical menagerie has found a new home at Almine Rech, the gallery is now the exclusive partner of the Consejo Leonora Carrington in France and rossogranada.

The collaboration will be marked by the debut of a bronze sculpture cast from a life model Carrington created in 2010 at Art Basel this June. The exhibition serves as a strong introduction to Carrington's shape-shifting practice, bringing together paintings, drawings, sculptures, tapestries and writings.

Carrington was prolific across disciplines (she even penned a children’s book, The Milk of Dreams), but her sculpture practice has more recently received greater institutional attention in the United States and Europe. Almine Rech notes that Carrington's fascination with mythology, particularly Celtic, the occult, and the dreamlike subconscious, can be seen throughout her work.

Almine Rech announced: 'Leonora Carrington is often discussed through the lens of Surrealism, but what stands out to me is her extraordinary independence. She moved effortlessly between mediums because she was never interested in fitting into a category.'

The exhibition at Almine Rech will mark a strong introduction to Carrington's work and it’s safe to say that the Basel-bound sculptures will make the booth a must-see.
