Bodys Isek Kingelez: City Dreams

Exhibition Website

May 26 2018 - Jan 1 2019

MoMA presents a full retrospective of Bodys Isek Kingelez (1948–2015), the Congolese sculptor who worked with paper, commercial packaging, and materials from everyday life to create what he called “extreme maquettes” that encompass civic buildings, public monuments, and private pavilions. Bodys Isek Kingelez spans the artist’s career over a 25-year period, ranging from early works to his streamlined, dramatic forms of the 2000s.
