A series of new drawings by Julie Mehretu (b. 1970, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) is currently on view in the Paris salons of White Cube as part of a presentation of the artist's works on paper.
Presented alongside works from 1998, the works in this exhibition demonstrate Julie Mehretu's exceptional ability to create signs; from her early cartographic and architectural language, to her recent powerful animated compositions that take the immediacy of news photographs as their starting point.
Co-curated by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, a major retrospective of Julie Mehretu's work is on view at the Whitney Museum of American Art through August 8, 2021. This major exhibition spans the artist's career, from her early works of the 1990s, to recent large-scale paintings such as Hineni (E. 3: 4), (2018), on loan from the Centre Pompidou, Paris.

Just steps from the Champs-Élysées, and housed in a converted early 19th-century residential building, White Cube's Paris office includes four enfilade lounges bathed in natural light, a reception area and library, and private offices.
