Apollinaria Broche: In the distance there was a glimpse
24 January - 24 February 2024
Marianne Boesky Gallery
507 West 24 Street, New York

Echoing the political concerns of her generation alongside the pop-cultural references that unfold alongside global turmoil, the French-Russian artist Apollinaria Broche (b. 1995, Moscow) will be the subject of her first New York solo exhibition, presented by Marianne Boesky Gallery.

The exhibition, In the distance there was a glimpse (which takes its title from Frances Hodgson Burnett’s 1911 children’s novel The Secret Garden) conjures a parallel universe of surreal, dreamlike lands populated by fantastical flowers and shape-shifting mythical creatures. 

Broche's sculptures balance the fragility of ceramics with solid bronze and other hard materials sourced from her studio locale of Pietrasanta, Italy — a region known since Renaissance times for its foundries and marble quarries.
