Nicole Eisenman’s ponderous embraces have grown from an occasional motif in her work to a full-blown theme, as in the tender, crapulent “Sloppy Bar Room Kiss” (2011), where the lovers limply lock lips before a few empty bottles with their heads slumped on the barroom table. They kiss languidly, wearily, with total surrender. Ahead of her mid-career retrospective’s finissage at @museumbrandhorst, as part of the opening weekend of @variousothersmunich, we’re digitally republishing @joannafiduccia's portrait of Nicole Eisenman from Spike 33, “Heavy Painting.” Now online!
