Hedda Sterne @ Victoria Miro

This is the first UK solo exhibition of works by Hedda Sterne (1910–2011).  She was an active member of the New York School, and was born in Bucharest, Romania in 1910 and fled to the US in 1941.  Sterne created an extensive body of work that intersected with some of the most important movements and figures of the twentieth century. A bridge between European Modernism, in particular Surrealism, and American Abstract Expressionism, Sterne’s work stands as a testament to her independence of thought, moving freely between figuration and abstraction throughout her career.
