Abba’s 1980 breakup song “Winner Takes It All,” as covered by Carla Bruni, inspired the latest group exhibition on view at Marianne Boesky Gallery in Manhattan. Curated by Ghana-based artist Amoako Boafo and Larry Ossei-Mensah, the show includes nine emerging artists who pose questions of identity and representation through their figurative art practices. While Abba may seem like an unlikely match, the lyrics resonated with the show’s thematic inquiry.
