Karen Kilimnik
20 February – 9 April 2007

Karen Kilimnik’s exhibition will feature paintings, architecture, furniture and a fountain in an installation, that will play with the domestic scale of the Gallery. Kilimnik’s paintings recall the work of painters from the 18th and 19th centuries and will be installed among antique furniture and in a specially designed antechamber in the main gallery of the Serpentine.
