Silke Otto-Knapp
at Regen Projects

A focused presentation of works by Silke Otto-Knapp (1970–2022) at Regen Projects, on view through October 24, 2026. The paintings highlight the artist's wide-ranging and polymath subject matter, including the inspiration she found in modern dance and figures such as Bronislava Nijinska, Yvonne Rainer, Trisha Brown and Michael Clark. Catherine Wood wrote in a 2009 essay that, at a conceptual level, Otto-Knapp's paintings 'yoke together two kinds of artifice': the artifice inherent to the act of painting as well as the theatricality appearing across the artist's extensive source imagery. Works on view include 'Untitled' (c. 2007–2009), watercolor on canvas; 'Quartet (blue)' (2007), watercolor and gouache on canvas; and 'Untitled' (c. 2013), watercolor on canvas. The gallery is open Tuesday–Saturday, 10 am–6 pm.
