Jyll Bradley – Solo Presentation with Pi Artworks at Independent 20th
Casa Cipriani, New York, (4-7 September 2025)
Jyll Bradley’s presentation for Independent 20th Century, comprised photographs, drawings and sculptures on a bespoke wallpaper. The whole is a new iteration of a travelling installation – evoking the artist’s childhood bedroom – this time including colour images in artist designed frames of signature green plexiglass, as well as drawings on carbon paper. The presentation paired images originated in the 20th century – self-portraits taken 35 years ago in the artist’s bedroom and not shown at the time – with recent sculptures echoing the artist’s height. The work was selected by the Independent curatorial team for the fair because of the new narratives presented vis a vis queer representation from the late 1980’s as well as bringing to light a broader story of artists working in the early days of the YBA (Young British Artist) cohort.
Bradley’s presentation was amongst Artnet’s top picks for International Artists at the fair and a highlight booth for White Hot Magazine:
