Subject(s): Summary: Cecily Brown: Rehearsal is the artists first solo museum show in New York and the first exhibition dedicated to her drawings. Arranged thematically, the more than eighty small drawings, large-scale works, and sketchbooks on view will foreground Browns iterative reworking of motifs from her wide-reaching arsenal of source materialprints by eighteenth-century draftsman William Hogarth, pages from animal clip-art books, and the cover of Jimi Hendrixs 1968 album Electric Ladyland are just some of the images that Brown has rendered again and again in her own hand. These drawings are not studies for her paintings but rather a distinct form of aesthetic inquiry, one that isolates the investigatory impulse that grounds Browns art in general.
