Trash Dolls 2

Trash Dolls 2 (2023) is the follow up publication to Aurel Schmidt's sold out book Trash Dolls (2020).

Aurel Schmidt is a New York artist known both for the technically adept execution and autobiographical frankness of her drawings. Pieced together using individual parts of the physical and emotional detritus of our world, Schmidt painstakingly constructs an intricate tableau that serves as a memento mori to our own vulnerability and mortality.

Recent projects include a 2023 collaboration with Supreme and a solo exhibition at Gathering London. Schmidt's work is in the Whitney Museum's permanent collection and included in Phaidon Vitamin D2.

Solo exhibitions include The Hole, P. P. O. W, Deitch Projects & Peres Projects and has contributed to group exhibitions at the MACRO Museum, Rome; Saatchi Gallery, London; Museum Moderner Kunst, Vienna & Deste Foundation, Greece.
