Provenance Courtesy of Galerie Eva Presenhuber, Zurich and New York Exhibited Zurich, Galerie Eva Presenhuber, Josh Smith , August 29 - November 7, 2015 Catalogue Essay American artist Josh Smith was born in Okinawa, Japan. Smith’s father was in the U.S. Army, and his family moved frequently, eventually settling in East Tennessee. He first became known in the early 2000s for a series of canvases depicting his own name, a motif that allowed him to experiment freely with abstraction and figuration and the expressive possibilities of painting.

Smith is currently based in New York. Read More
