Hervé Télémaque: 1959–1964

The exhibition brings together over a dozen paintings from the artist’s first five years of production. Relying on an established exhibition and research practice of delving into significant periods in artists’ careers, ICA Miami takes a deep and definitive look at the earliest works in Hervé Télémaque’s oeuvre.

As one of the preeminent painters of the postwar period, with an artistic output that spans grotesque figuration to Pop art to assemblage, Télémaque has been at the forefront of a number of modes that characterize contemporary art. “Hervé Télémaque: 1959–1964” examines the very beginning of his practice, exploring a period of turbulence for the artist, both artistic and existential.
