GOSHKA MACUGA - Artists - Andrew Kreps Gallery

Born in Warsaw, Goshka Macuga lives and works in London. In 2024, Macuga’s solo show Born From Stone was presented at London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE, and her work was included in Inaugural Exhibition, The Campus, Hudson, NY. In the same year, she was elected as a member of the Royal Academy, London. In 2021, she was selected as a finalist for the Fourth Plinth Commission, London, and in 2019, Macuga was commissioned to make a large-scale tapestry for the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
