Galerie Eva Presenhuber is a leading international contemporary art gallery located in Zurich and New York.

Eva Presenhuber Gallery 

Carron’s work is defined by a fascination for modernity and its decay. 

For this exhibition in New York, Valentin Carron has brought together a series of works created since 2009. The works on view include reconstructions of modernist reliefs, sculptures, stained glass pieces, a vast ensemble of brass instruments that have been brutally reduced to decorative elements, wrought iron gates, two videos, and a Giacometti-style iconic, provocative hand. 

All works are gathered together under the title, And So America Opened Up. At a very special moment in his artistic career and in a context whose future no one yet dares to predict, Carron has allowed himself a courageous and uncompromising retrospective vision toward his oeuvre.

"Valentin Carron’s sculptures have been characterized as "reproductions and reconstructions of vernacular Swiss items . . . [that] have been regarded as equally [and simultaneously] critical, cynical, and comical in their take on the visual cultural and national identities.” - Forbes
