Marlene Dumas' latest exhibition, Cycladic Blues, at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens focuses on the complexities of womanhood. It showcases themes of motherhood, the work of female strippers, nudity, and the experience of aging. Her art has consistently addressed profound topics related to the human condition, including birth, death, sexuality, and violence. Dumas recently became the most expensive living female artist at auction, raising questions about women's representation in the art market and her own perspective on gender and value.
"It's a funny position to be in, because in my generation of artists, with people like Jeff Koons, their prices were much higher."
"This is a book for all times; from being born, being young, being attractive and seductive, being betrayed and attacked, to being old and trying not to die."
