CRⒶSS OVER
Gee Vaucher: Crass & Beyond
will close on October 26, 2024

A forward-facing view of three walls in a gallery; the rear/middle wall is freestanding, with gaps between its edges and those of the walls flanking it. All three walls are painted bright red. On the rear wall is a 7-foot tall painting of a young child with dark eyes and hair. The child’s face is somewhat distorted and appears smeared with dirt. On the right wall are two more paintings of the same size, also of children with large, haunting faces; the child in the painting furthest to the right has her eyes squeezed shut. On the left is another large painting of a child’s face; splatters of paint run down the child’s face.

CRⒶSS OVER
Gee Vaucher: Crass & beyond

White Columns is proud to present CRⒶSS OVER – Gee Vaucher: Crass & Beyond, the most comprehensive exhibition to date in the United States by the pioneering British artist Gee Vaucher (b. 1945, Dagenham, England.) This is Vaucher’s first exhibition in New York in nearly two decades, and coincides with the publication of CRASS: A Pictorial History (Exitstencil Press, UK, 2024), the definitive account of the hugely influential British anarcho-punk band Crass (1977-1984.) The exhibition presents Vaucher’s iconic artwork produced for Crass alongside the work that she has subsequently created in the decades following the band’s planned demise in 1984, including her harrowing series of large-scale paintings Children Who Have Seen Too Much Too Soon (2006-2024).
