  • One of the two paintings at the Whitney Biennial, Empirical Construction: Istanbul, is one of her largest to date: a 10-by-15-foot tour de force that blends fragmentary views of Istanbul’s Old City with geometric forms. It’s also, says Mehretu—who’s lived in Addis Ababa, Dakar, and Kalamazoo—“the only painting I’ve made so far based on one particular city.”
