Unveiling a New Era:
Marian Goodman Gallery’s Bold Tribute to Art in Tribeca
Yesterday, Marian Goodman Gallery opened the doors to its breathtaking new flagship at 385 Broadway, Tribeca. The exhibition, titled Your Patience Is Appreciated, introduces a thoughtful and dynamic program celebrating the gallery’s legacy and its enduring dedication to contemporary art. Curated by Philipp Kaiser, this three-floor exhibition features works from over fifty artists, each piece harmonizing with the gallery’s mission of artistic integrity and intellectual depth. The space itself—an architectural marvel by studioMDA—merges Old New York’s industrial charm with sleek, modern design, capturing the historic essence of the Grosvenor Building.
From conceptual installations to stirring soundscapes and videos, this exhibition presents a tapestry of cross-generational dialogue among artists, each exploring themes of transformation and patience. New and iconic works activate every floor, creating a layered experience that entices visitors to delve into each piece. Highlights include installations by Tony Cragg and Gabriel Orozco, alongside experimental films by Chantal Akerman and Tino Sehgal.
As Rose Lord, Managing Partner, described, Your Patience Is Appreciated not only mirrors the gallery’s artistic values but also reflects a homecoming—a reunion of the gallery’s artists in a singular space. The Tribeca flagship, with its light-filled galleries, library, and art storage, marks a defining moment in Marian Goodman Gallery’s 47-year history, enhancing its role as a vital platform for leading voices in contemporary art.
Running until December 14, this inaugural exhibition promises to set a new standard in New York’s art landscape, celebrating the depth and diversity of art in a space designed to inspire.

The Spirit of Noto: Urushi Artists of Wajima & Waves of Resilience.
October 3-25
Onishi Gallery
16 E 79th Street, Ground Floor, New York, NY 10075
Curated by Nana Onishi, the gallery’s owner, The Spirit of Noto: Urushi Artists of Wajima will showcase the work of three Living National Treasures and twelve distinguished local artisans, all specializing in urushi, the sap-derived lacquer from the Japanese lacquer tree.
On January 1, 2024, a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula, claiming over 200 lives and devastating the town of Wajima, renowned for its traditional lacquer industry. The disaster destroyed more than half of Wajima’s 300 lacquer studios, displacing many artisans and forcing them to abandon both their homes and work. Seven months later, only a few have been able to return.
To aid the recovery, the organizers have pledged 10% of exhibition sales toward reconstruction efforts, assisting artisans in restoring their economic stability, mental well-being, and the intricate skills vital to the Wajima lacquer industry.
“These exhibitions not only address the urgent situation in Wajima but also align with KOGEI USA’s mission to promote contemporary craft art (KOGEI) in the United States,” says Nana Onishi. “Under the theme ‘Securing Heritage, Nurturing Traditions, and Building Futures,’ KOGEI USA highlights Living National Treasures and creates new opportunities for artists in international markets.”

Gagosian announces ‘The Street,’ an exhibition conceived and curated by the artist Peter Doig, opening November 1 at 980 Madison Avenue, New York. For this collaboration with the gallery, Doig has assembled a personal selection of paintings by artists who have accompanied and informed his own artistic development.
Taking as its point of departure Balthus’s remarkable 1933 painting ‘The Street,’ generously loaned by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the exhibition will present scenes of urban life, labor, and architecture by artists including Francis Bacon, Max Beckmann, Vija Celmins, Prunella Clough, Giorgio de Chirico, Denzil Forrester, Jean Hélion, Mark Rothko, and Martin Wong, among others. The presentation will also include new work by Doig himself.

Out of Country
Gagosian
980 Madison Avenue, New York
September 10–October 19, 2024
Gagosian announces Out of Country, an exhibition of new and recent paintings by Mark Grotjahn.
In his paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, Grotjahn explores color, perspective, seriality, and the sublime. The concluding entries in the Backcountry series, featured in this exhibition, draw inspiration from the rural American landscapes encountered during his ski and fly-fishing tours in the remote backcountry of western Colorado. While these works include elements of pictorial representation—suggesting a snowy mountain descent or a starlit nocturnal pass—their primary focus remains on abstraction. This is manifested through the nuanced layering of line, tone, and texture. Grotjahn continues to develop variations on a distinctive style and format, creating a dynamic rhythm that transcends mere visual documentation to achieve unique formal and emotional complexity.

Ten percent of sales will go toward earthquake recovery efforts, helping restore Wajima’s historic lacquer industry. Visit Onishi Gallery’s website for more details.
JASPER JOHNS

September 12, 6–8 PM, through October 26, 2024
Matthew Marks announces Jasper Johns: Drawings 1982–2021, the upcoming exhibition at his gallery located at 523 West 24th Street. The exhibition features twenty-five drawings in a wide variety of media, many of which have rarely, if ever, been exhibited.
Spanning the last forty years of Johns’s extensive career, the drawings in the exhibition highlight many of the artist’s well-known motifs, drawn from his expansive personal lexicon of symbols and images. In 1964, Johns encapsulated his approach to art making: “Take an object. Do something to it. Do something else to it.” These motifs include autobiographical references, the American flag, patterns like the flagstone or harlequin print, and images borrowed from other artists such as John Cage, Picasso, de Kooning, and Rodin.

Joel Shapiro
Pace Gallery
The artist’s first solo show with Pace in New York since 2014, this presentation, which will be accompanied by a new catalogue from Pace Publishing featuring an essay by poet and scholar Vincent Katz, will run from September 13 to October 26, spotlighting three never-before-exhibited painted wood sculptures.
One of America’s most renowned artists, Shapiro has pushed the boundaries of sculptural form over the course of his 55-year career with a body of work distinguished by its dynamism, complexity, and formal elegance. Over the past two decades, the kinetic, often cantilevered compositions that defined Shapiro’s work throughout the 1980s and 1990s have been torn apart and reassembled into newly rapturous, chromatic combinations. In his upcoming show in New York, Shapiro relinquishes the suspended forms of his 2010 Pace installation—which the late critic Peter Schjeldahl described in The New Yorker as “like a Malevich canvas bursting to life in 3-D”—and returns with renewed vigor to vibrant, precariously joined, free-standing sculptures that, although floor-bound, retain intimations of flight, expansion, and buoyancy. All the works in this exhibition began as studies between 2020 and 2022, and the centerpiece will be a multipart sculpture, ARK, which careens across the gallery as it verges on taking off, its brightly colored limbs, volumes, and planks projecting outward as if from a maelstrom.

Anselm Kiefer
Opening reception: Friday, June 21, 7–9pm
June 21–August 24, 2024, Athens
Courtesy the artist and Gagosian
Gagosian announces Anselm Kiefer’s debut solo exhibition in Greece. Opening on June 21, the exhibition features new and recent paintings, sculpture, and photography.
Kiefer’s landscapes convey poetic responses to myth, history, and the natural world, evoking themes of creation, metamorphosis, and the cyclical nature of existence. These works are united by the artist’s juxtaposition of the luminosity of gold with the visual and symbolic resonance of other mediums, including oil and acrylic paint, shellac, straw, and fabric. Kiefer contrasts the materials’ varying tonalities and textures to impart the sublimity of nature and the weight of history. He alludes to gold’s allegorical significance by referencing its use in sacred icons and ancient legends, its alchemical symbolism in relation to lead (another key material in his practice), and the ideal of a “golden age.

Yayoi Kusama
The Round Pond, Kensington Gardens
9 July – 3 November 2024
Serpentine and The Royal Parks announce the unveiling of a new large-scale sculpture by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama (b. 1929, Matsumoto, Japan; lives and works in Tokyo, Japan). Located by the Round Pond in Kensington Gardens, *Pumpkin* (2024) will be on display from 9 July to 3 November 2024.
*Pumpkin* (2024) marks Kusama’s return to Serpentine, the location of her first retrospective exhibition in Britain in 2000. This major survey included paintings, collages, watercolors, sculptures, documentation of performances, and films, all exploring Kusama’s obsessions with dots, nets, food, and sex.
The work on view in Kensington Gardens is Kusama’s tallest bronze pumpkin sculpture to date, standing 6 meters tall and 5.5 meters in diameter. Installed prominently by the Round Pond, *Pumpkin* (2024) can be seen from a wide variety of viewpoints, creating an intriguing dialogue with the surrounding environment of the park.
Yayoi Kusama said: “I am sending to London with love my giant pumpkin. Since my childhood, pumpkins have been a great comfort to me; they are such tender things to touch, so appealing in color and form. They are humble and amusing at the same time and speak to me of the joy of living.”

BARE
Opening Thursday, June 6, at Rivoli, Xavier Hufkens presents Chinese artist Qiu Xiaofei’s debut exhibition in Europe. Entitled “BARE,” the presentation showcases a new series of paintings created between 2021 and 2023.
Referencing both Eastern and Western aesthetic traditions, and drawing on the literary, musical, and intellectual worlds of both cultures, the works straddle the border between observation and imagination, exploring the depths of human consciousness and the boundaries of reality.
The exhibition will be on view until August 3.

George Condo
The Mad and The Lonely
From June 18th, 2024, to October 31st, 2024, the DESTE Foundation will present “The Mad and the Lonely,” an exhibition of works by George Condo. The show will be on view at DESTE’s Project Space, a former slaughterhouse on the island of Hydra. “The Mad and the Lonely” will feature a selection of small-scale paintings and sculptures spanning the artist’s extensive career.
Following the tradition of portraiture, the works in the exhibition depict disparate souls rejected by society, lingering between states of madness and loneliness. These characters, victims of their internal circumstances, are rendered in George Condo’s distinctive style, which is abstract, eerie, and humanoid-like.
Condo draws on art from the Renaissance and Baroque to Cubism, Surrealism, and Pop Art, creating his own visual language by diverging from traditional portrait painting and Modernist abstraction. Works like “Woman with Bear” (1997) seem to borrow from Cubism, depicting subjects from multiple perspectives simultaneously. However, the distorted figures in these works embody various emotional states, brought to life through what Condo calls “Psychological Cubism.”
While Condo’s characters are fictional, figments of his imagination, they embody social uncertainties and psychological nuances.
Georg Baselitz
adler barfuß
Created in the artist’s studio north of Salzburg, this new series of paintings and ink drawings features eagles, a motif that has resurfaced in Georg Baselitz’s oeuvre throughout his life. Depicted in tactile, multicoloured impasto, the works feature eagles rendered in gestural strokes, larger than life, hovering in an undefined space. Seemingly weightless, they appear to float against varying backgrounds of blue, in hues reminiscent of works by Lucas Cranach the Elder or ‘the beach paintings that Picasso created in Dinard, in Brittany, in the 1920s’ as Andreas Zimmermann, curator of the celebrated exhibition Georg Baselitz: Naked Masters (2023) at the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, writes in the accompanying exhibition catalogue. The eagles are perched or in flight, conveying a sense of the vigour with which they were painted. Baselitz uses spatulas rather than paint brushes, producing marks that recall ‘middle and late period Rembrandt and, even more so, pen and ink drawings by Hokusai. […] Filigree and powerful at once: a typical Baselitz paradox.’

Elmgreen & Dragset: Landscapes
Upcoming May 23 – Aug 10, 2024 Geneva
Pace Gallery announces Elmgreen & Dragset’s first exhibition at its Geneva gallery, featuring a mix of new and recent works that employ the artist duo’s signature use of surreal qualities and the absurd to comment on nature and our place within it.
Set directly on its shore, Lake Geneva acts as a site-specific parallel to the works in the exhibition, inviting the viewer’s reflection. The show will incorporate installations and sculptures—one of which is enlivened by animatronic technology—that are imbued with an enigmatic pathos that has become emblematic of Elmgreen & Dragset’s oeuvre.
As the backdrop for their presentation, Elmgreen & Dragset chose a quotation by the late Danish poet Inger Christensen:
“A desert can be so desolate that nobody knows it exists.”

Beatriz Milhazes at Tate St Ives
25 May – 29 September 2024
Cornwall, UK
Tate St Ives presents a major retrospective of works by Beatriz Milhazes. Entitled ‘Beatriz Milhazes: Maresias’, the exhibition traces the evolution of the artist’s practice over the past four decades, showcasing Milhazes’s vibrant and abstract large-scale canvases.
The exhibition’s title, ‘Maresias’, derives from the Portuguese term for ‘salty sea breeze’, speaking to the influence of Milhazes’s coastal environment in Rio de Janeiro and the centrality of nature in her practice.
Opening this May, the exhibition debuted at Turner Contemporary, Margate, and has been adapted for presentation at Tate St Ives.

The Body as Matter:
Giacometti, Nauman, Picasso in LondonOn View from June 6, the Exhibition is the First to Consider Sculpture by These Three Artists Together
Gagosian presents “The Body as Matter: Giacometti, Nauman, Picasso,” an exhibition showcasing sculptures by Alberto Giacometti, Bruce Nauman, and Pablo Picasso. Curated by Richard Calvocoressi, the exhibition runs from June 6 to July 26, 2024, at the Grosvenor Hill gallery. This groundbreaking show is the first to juxtapose the distinct sculptural practices of these three artists, each known for their radical explorations of the human body. The exhibition features iconic pieces such as Picasso’s “La femme enceinte I” and “Bras vertical,” Giacometti’s “La jambe” and “Grande tête,” and Nauman’s “Henry Moore Bound to Fail” and “Model for Room with My Soul Left Out, Room That Does Not Care.” These works highlight the artists’ unique approaches to sculpture, from Picasso’s cubist experiments to Giacometti’s textured, elongated figures, and Nauman’s innovative use of performance and technology.

Adam Pendleton
An Abstraction
Pace Gallery
540 West 25th Street.
May 3 – Aug 16, 2024
Pace is pleased to present An Abstraction, an exhibition of recent paintings and drawings by New York-based artist Adam Pendleton, at its 540 West 25th Street gallery in New York from May 3 to August 16.
Pendleton’s first solo show at Pace’s New York gallery in ten years, An Abstraction follows a series of significant solo exhibitions by the artist at museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2021; the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in 2022; and mumok – Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien, Vienna in 2023. The return to his home city marks a continuation of his career-long project of creating spaces of engagement and “fighting for the right to exist in and through abstraction.”
Pendleton’s work indexes and documents the physical process of painting to create layered pictorial fields that—in their painterly, psychic, and verbal expressions—announce a new mode of visual composition for the 21st century. He is guided by a visual and structural philosophy he has termed “Black Dada,” an ongoing inquiry into Blackness and its relationship to abstraction and conceptions of the avant-garde. Investigating Blackness as a color and theoretical proposition, the artist’s work reflects a contrapuntal understanding of the world in both sensorial and conceptual terms.

Dan Walsh (b. 1960, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a painter, printmaker, bookmaker, and sculptor.

NEW YORK, April 18, 2024—Gagosian is pleased to announce Idealism Is Unavoidable, an exhibition of Good Paintings by Neil Jenney.Balancing idealism and realism, Jenney’s landscape paintings are highly stylized and rendered with a careful attention to detail. Begun in 1971, the Good Paintings are differentiated from Jenney’s previous body of work, which he designated as Bad Paintings (1969–70) after curator Marcia Tucker’s 1978 New Museum exhibition “Bad” Painting, which included his work. Painted in acrylic in a loose, gestural style, the Bad Paintings represent relationships between people and things, while upending preconceptions of connoisseurship and “good taste.” The Good Paintings are instead exacting studies of nature in oil paint on wooden panels.Jenney’s Good Paintings impart the experience of observing the North American landscape at close range, in contrast with the expansive vistas of untamed wilderness typical of the historical Hudson River School. While describing the natural world, many of the works also remind us that the environment is never far removed from human intervention. Jenney’s handmade black wooden frames are integral to these works, which he regards as “painted sculpture.” Playing off the classical conception of a painting as a window into fictive space, the frames create an architectural foreground, asserting their status as physical objects. The works’ mediated nature is further emphasized by the inclusion of titles stenciled in uppercase serif lettering.

Punctum will be on view at 976 Madison Avenue from April 25 through July 3, 2024.Photography has been an important but under-recognized aspect of Kiefer’s practice since 1968, when he began using his father’s 35mm camera. The medium underpins the evolution of the artist’s paintings and is a key component of his books. Punctum offers new perspectives on his exploration of materials and processes, and on the symbolic and expressive potentials of photography.

Xavier Hufkens is pleased to present “An Other View,” the inaugural exhibition of American painter Joan Semmel (b. 1932) with the gallery. Spanning five decades, the exhibition showcases the major developments in the artist’s oeuvre. Featuring ten large-format oil paintings and two works on paper created between 1971 and 2018, the collection collectively attests to Semmel’s decades-long commitment to representing women, primarily through the medium of her own body.

Featuring new paintings and works on paper, the exhibition is on view at 980 Madison Avenue from May 8 through June 22.A master colorist, Whitney takes an exploratory and lyrical approach to painting. Each of his canvases is structured as a loose grid of rectilinear blocks in three or four rows. Laying down one vivid color at a time, the artist establishes relationships between each area, its neighbors, and the composition as a whole, employing gestural brushwork to juxtapose hues applied with varied degrees of opacity.

Featuring 100 life-size sculptures, the works are distributed across 300 acres of the park. The cast-iron figures, each standing at an average of 191cm, are installed at the same datum level to create a single horizontal plane across the landscape. Some works are embedded, allowing only a part of the head to be visible, while others are buried to the chest or knees according to the topography. Only occasionally do they stand on the existing surface. Around a quarter of the works are placed on concrete columns that vary from a few centimetres high to rising four meters off the ground.

Claire, Grass and Water is an exhibition of new works by Alex Katz. Curated by Luca Massimo Barbero.
Conceived as a site-specific intervention, it spans three major groupings of never-before-seen works made between 2021 and 2022 that represent three key facets of Katz’s practice, the boundaries of which continue to expand seven decades into his career. Large-scale, close-up depictions of inky-hued oceans and of grassland in tones of greens and yellows are brought together in the Sala Carnelutti, followed in the Piccolo Teatro by a group of paintings based on outfits by mid-century American fashion designer Claire McCardell. The exhibition follows the artist’s recent landmark retrospective at the Guggenheim New York.

New Sculptures

Opening tomorrow in Salzburg

21 March—11 May 2024
Salzburg Villa Kast
Focusing on his most recent bodies of work, this exhibition offers a view into the breadth of Tony Cragg’s latest formal developments. Defined by the British artist’s continuous investigation into the possibilities of a wide range of materials and his exploration of both the natural and the man-made worlds, his abstract sculptures manifest entirely unprecedented forms that nevertheless spark a sense of recognition and summon an emotional response.
The works on view range from intricate stainless steel sculptures from his recent Incidents to a range of softer organic forms, such as his latest Integers. These almost statuesque, polymorphic works appear geologically layered when constructed from plywood or heavy and turned in on themselves when cast in bronze. Juxtaposed with works whose pulsating forms extend outwards, this exhibition highlights how Cragg’s practice continues to answer anew what is possible in terms of form.

Zhang Enli
A Traveller
Xavier Hufkens
15 March—11 May 2024
St-Georges
Zhang Enli’s second exhibition with the gallery, A Traveller, unveils a new series of gestural abstract portraits, marking the evolution of his oeuvre since 2019. Taking a journey into the complexities of the human psyche, the artist transcends the boundaries between figuration and abstraction, creating a unique visual language that links colour and form to memory and emotion.
Portraiture has been a central theme in Zhang Enli’s practice for over three decades. In the 1990s, for example, he created an extensive series of paintings based on the ordinary people and workers of Shanghai. The canvases have titles such as Butcher, Smoker and Dancer. While he later explored themes of nature, interiors, and objects, Zhang always considered these works as portraits. Following his interest in portraiture, his most recent works began to shift towards intuitive expressionism, which capture the ‘essence’ of his subjects beyond their representation. Rather than relying on direct observation, Zhang now harnesses the painterly medium to construct psychological landscapes in which the eye and mind can wander. Of the evolution from representation to abstraction, he says: ‘In the beginning, I worked from objects to lines. These lines were specific, like electrical cables and iron wires. But once they were depicted, I found them hard to define. It’s not easy to separate the abstract and the figurative. This has led me to where I am today. In my mind, the abstract and the figurative are not separate. Their boundaries are blurred.

PERROTIN LOS ANGELES
Izumi Kato
Opening February 28, 2024
Perrotin is pleased to announce the inauguration of its Los Angeles gallery during Frieze Week with a solo exhibition dedicated to Izumi Kato. The inaugural exhibition, on view starting February 28, marks the Japan-born artist’s debut on the West Coast of the United States. The showcase will feature a survey of his recent artistic endeavors, emphasizing new developments in his paintings, drawings, and sculptures crafted from a diverse range of media, including wood, stone, soft vinyl, textile, plastic models, and cast aluminum.
Based between Tokyo and Hong Kong, Kato (b. 1969) is renowned for his distinctive use of natural materials such as wood and stone, coupled with techniques that involve finger-painting, hand-carving, stitching, and knotting—skills inspired by his background in fishing. His artistic prowess gained international recognition through his presentation at the Italian Pavilion during the 2007 Venice Biennale, curated by Robert Storr. Over the years, he has held solo exhibitions at esteemed institutions, including the Watari Museum of Contemporary Art in Japan (2022), SCAD Museum of Art in the USA (2021), Hara Museum in Japan (2019), Fundación Casa Wabi in Mexico (2019), and Red Brick Art Museum in China (2018).

Bernd & Hilla Becher
Paula Cooper Gallery:
534 W 21st Street
February 24 – March 30, 2024
Opening reception: February 23, 5:00–7:00 PM
During their almost fifty-year partnership beginning in 1959, Bernd and Hilla Becher pursued a project of systematically photographing industrial structures. Documenting previously commonplace edifices such as water towers, coal bunkers, blast furnaces and gravel plants—first in Germany and later across Europe and the United States—the Bechers challenged the perceived gap between fine-art and documentary photography. Following a major Becher retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, in 2022, this will be the gallery’s second exhibition focused on the Bechers. Encompassing thirty-one single prints and two sixteen-part typologies depicting a range of industrial forms, the exhibition underlines how the Becher’s objective style resonated with the serial approach of Minimal and Conceptual art.

Fish Lamp Sculptures and Works on Paper by Frank Gehry
Ruminations
February 8–April 6, 2024
976 Madison Avenue, New York
Frank Gehry, Untitled (Rust and Blue Fish), 2022. Pen and watercolor on paper, 10 ½ × 13 ¾ inches (26.7 × 34.9 cm) © Frank O. Gehry. Photo: Jeff McLane
The sculptures, several of which will be visible from the street on Madison Avenue, are internally illuminated forms in copper and Formica; one copper fish is suspended from the ceiling of the gallery’s first room, in which Crocodile Lamp (2023) is also on view. Two further freestanding clusters are displayed on heavy, handmade wooden bases in the second space alongside another large hanging fish. While Gehry’s fish sculptures are self-contained works, the “perfect form” of the ancient creature that they emulate reappears throughout his architectural oeuvre, lending itself to the undulating profiles of buildings such as 2003’s Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles; Guggenheim Bilbao (1997); and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi (opening 2025). The leaflike scales on the copper fish represent a new motif inspired by a hike that Gehry took with his granddaughter.Gehry is celebrated for groundbreaking architectural designs in which he pursues a fascination with primal, natural forms, conveying his sense that postmodernist architecture limited itself by confining its points of reference to the discipline’s own history; looking further, he seeks to escape that sentimental tendency. He has also produced significant bodies of sculpture and furniture, from Easy Edges (1969–73) and Experimental Edges (1979–82)—chairs and tables made from corrugated cardboard—to bentwood furniture designed for Knoll (1989–92). The Fish Lamps series evolved from a 1983 commission from the Formica Corporation to make use of their ColorCore plastic laminate.
“NO ONE THING”
David Smith Late Sculptures
Exhibition at Hauser & Wirth:
1 February – 13 April 2024
David Smith’s sculptures, whether big or small, figurative or abstract, are profoundly complete and attuned to your presence. They exude generosity and offer no dull perspectives. Regardless of how you approach them, they remain vigilant, never at rest. They demand your full attention and convey that this is the way to exist: vigilant.” — Frank O’Hara, 1964
David Smith (1906–1965), one of the most influential and innovative artists of the 20th century, reached the zenith of his experimentation and productivity in the last five years of his life. During this period, he elevated welding to new monumental heights, incorporated open space into his arrangement of planar forms, and enlivened sculptural surfaces with color combinations that defied conventional reasoning. These groundbreaking innovations not only defied norms but also solidified his legacy, leaving an indelible mark on generations of artists. “No One Thing: David Smith, Late Sculptures” showcases seven of the artist’s most pivotal sculptures from these final years.

Thinking of You. I Mean Me. I Mean You.
Exhibition at Serpentine South Gallery
February 1st – March 17th, 2024 Admission: Free
Barbara Kruger, an American artist born in Newark, New Jersey, USA in 1945, is renowned for her impactful fusion of images and words. With a background as a graphic designer for magazines, Kruger has crafted an iconic visual language often drawing inspiration from advertising and various media aesthetics. Since the 1970s, her artworks have delved into intricate facets of power dynamics, gender, class, consumerism, and capitalism.
“Thinking of You. I Mean Me. I Mean You” at Serpentine South Gallery marks Kruger’s first solo institutional exhibition in London in more than two decades. The exhibition showcases a distinctive array of installations, accompanied by moving image pieces and multiple soundscapes. It also presents the UK premiere of “Untitled (No Comment)” (2020), an immersive three-channel video installation that explores contemporary online content creation and consumption. In this work, Kruger blends text, audio fragments, and an array of found images and memes, ranging from obscured selfies to animated cat photos.
Additionally, the exhibition includes recent video reinterpretations, referred to by the artist as “replays,” of several of Kruger’s iconic works from the 1980s, including “Untitled (I shop therefore I am)” (1987) and “Untitled (Your body is a battleground)” (1989). Over the decades, Kruger has presented her art in diverse settings and forms, such as on buildings, billboards, hoardings, buses, and skate parks. For this exhibition, she has adapted pieces that were recently exhibited in U.S. museums to specific locations within Serpentine, encompassing both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Max Weber:
Art and Life Are Not Apart
The Schoelkopf Gallery proudly announces its exclusive worldwide representation of the Max Weber Foundation in New York City, and with great excitement, it presents its inaugural solo exhibition, showcasing the remarkable works of the renowned artist. Scheduled to run from January 19 to April 5, this exhibition promises to be a visual delight for those who appreciate the beauty and innovation of 20th-century American art.
Max Weber, a Polish-born American painter, occupies a prominent position in the history of modernist art.

The exhibition displays paintings as a captivating voyage through time, tracing the artistic evolution of Max Weber. Weber’s profound fascination with Cubism, a movement originating in Europe’s avant-garde circles, prompted him to embark on an exploration of form and structure. His unique reinterpretation of Cubism through an American perspective gave birth to a distinctive fusion of geometric shapes and abstracted forms. Visitors to the exhibition will have the opportunity to witness this remarkable transformation firsthand as they engage with Weber’s Cubist masterpieces adorning the gallery walls.

Books
Exhibition at Paula Cooper Gallery
521 W 21st Street | January 6 – February 10, 2024
www.paulacoopergallery.com
The Paula Cooper Gallery is currently hosting an exhibition titled “Books” at 521 W 21st Street from January 6 to February 10, 2024. This exhibition, recommended by Art Summit, explores the diverse ways contemporary artists interact with the concept of books.
The showcased works in this exhibition illustrate the various roles books play in contemporary art, serving as surfaces, structures, found objects, and sources of philosophical inspiration. Artists engage with books through reading, collecting, and creating them, and this involvement influences their creative thinking. The exhibition highlights how elements such as double-page spreads, fabric-bound volumes, and unique typefaces are integral components of these artistic works.
The exhibition features artworks that pay homage to book covers and internal pages through photography or print. It also presents books on shelves, offering insights into the personalities of their owners, while sculptures incorporate books as found objects, imbuing them with historical significance. Some works deconstruct books, isolating pages, covers, or individual illustrations to repurpose them as readymades. Additionally, the exhibition showcases how books serve as rich surfaces for drawing and painting, and artists reimagine the book’s familiar form using unexpected materials.
Notable artists featured in the exhibition include Terry Adkins, Carl Andre, John Baldessari, Jane Benson, Jonathan Borofsky, Carol Bove, Sophie Calle, Sarah Charlesworth, Bruce Conner, Rafael Domenench, Theaster Gates, Andreas Gursky, Candida Höfer, Douglas Huebler, Jill Magid, Claes Oldenburg, Laura Owens, Jorge Pardo, Stephen Prina, Studio K.O.S., R. H. Quaytman, Walid Raad, Lee Seung-taek, Dan Walsh, and Rachel Whiteread.
“Going Dark: Contemporary Art on the Fringes of Visibility”
from October 20th, 2023 to April 7th, 2024
The exhibition “Going Dark: Contemporary Art on the Fringes of Visibility” showcases artworks that depict figures partially obscured or hidden, placing them at the threshold of perceptibility. Within this artistic context, the phrase “going dark” signifies a deliberate strategy used by artists to visually conceal the human form, exploring a fundamental tension in modern society: the longing to be both seen and hidden from view.
Artists featured in the exhibition employ various formal techniques to achieve the concept of “going dark.” These approaches include literal methods of darkening through shadowplay, innovative materials and printing methods, as well as post-production
The exhibition “Going Dark: Contemporary Art on the Fringes of Visibility” showcases artworks that depict figures partially obscured or hidden, placing them at the threshold of perceptibility. Within this artistic context, the phrase “going dark” signifies a deliberate strategy used by artists to visually conceal the human form, exploring a fundamental tension in modern society: the longing to be both seen and hidden from view.
Artists featured in the exhibition employ various formal techniques to achieve the concept of “going dark.” These approaches include literal methods of darkening through shadowplay, innovative materials and printing methods, as well as post-production tools that blur or intensify imagery. Some of the more recent works on display incorporate digital technology, such as the use of chroma-key green or blue screens. These pieces seamlessly transition between representation and abstraction, with many artists skillfully manipulating color and light to obscure optical perception, thereby challenging the very nature of visual perception itself.
Located within the iconic rotunda of the Guggenheim Museum, “Going Dark” features over 100 artworks created by a group of 28 artists. The majority of these artists are of Black descent, and over half of them are women. While most of the exhibited works originate from the 1980s to the present, a curated selection dates back to the 1960s and 1970s, created by three renowned artists—David Hammons, Faith Ringgold, and Charles White. This inclusion underscores the role of Conceptual art in those decades, which laid the foundation for contemporary artists who now explore the boundaries of visibility.
“Going Dark: Contemporary Art on the Fringes of Visibility” is curated by Ashley James, Associate Curator of Contemporary Art, in collaboration with Faith Hunter, Curatorial Assistant.

“Retinal Hysteria”: A Must-See Exhibition Curated by Robert Storr at Venus Over Manhattan
New York, NY – November 18, 2023 – Venus Over Manhattan proudly presents “Retinal Hysteria,” an extraordinary two-venue exhibition curated by the renowned artist, critic, and curator, Robert Storr. This groundbreaking show is set to captivate art enthusiasts and challenge conventional artistic norms, running until January 13, 2024.
Robert Storr is a distinguished figure in the art world, known for his multifaceted career as an artist, critic, and curator. With a profound educational background and an impressive portfolio, he has left an indelible mark on the contemporary art scene. From his tenure as a curator at the Museum of Modern Art to his role as Dean of the Yale University School of Art, Robert Storr’s contributions to the art world are immeasurable.
“Retinal Hysteria” is an exquisite exhibition that boasts a lineup of over forty artists, including George Condo, Dana Schultz, Paul McCarthy, Kara Walker, Jim Nutt, Louise Bourgeois, Ashley Bickerton, and more. Drawing inspiration from the groundbreaking 2001–2002 exhibition, “Eye Infection,” presented at the Stedelijk Museum, Robert Storr curates a thought-provoking collection that challenges established artistic standards.
The artists featured in “Retinal Hysteria” share a maverick sensibility that explores the unsightly aspects of contemporary life, pushing the boundaries of art with meticulous craftsmanship and audacious vulgarity. Their distinct linguistic style is frequently misunderstood as mere jest or anti-intellectualism. Storr’s curation revisits these central concerns and expands upon them in the present tense, reflecting a world he perceives as “coming apart at its seams.”
Key works from artists like R. Crumb, Jim Nutt, and Peter Saul, who were part of “Eye Infection,” are joined by a diverse array of historical and contemporary artists who are committed to creating art that delivers “disorienting intensity.” Most of the artworks on display have never been seen by the public before, with many specifically crafted for this exhibition.
“Hysteria,” defined as “ungovernable emotional excess,” takes center stage in “Retinal Hysteria.” Robert Storr delves into how it affects vision, particularly in the traumatic conditions that we are currently experiencing. Disorienting intensity serves as the primary criterion for artwork selection, transcending traditional mediums or styles. This exhibition disregards stylistic labels, encompassing Funk, Imagism, Underground Comix, and more, all united by the expressive imperatives characteristic of “Retinal Hysteria.”
In the words of Robert Storr, “Welcome to rooms full-to-overflowing with images that vibrate with panic, uncontrollable anger, out-of-control laughter, orgasmic release, and the sheer vertigo of living in a state of hypersensitivity to the disparate stimuli of ‘Retinal Hysteria’s’ modern masters, ‘a world gone nuts!'”

Only the Young: Korean Experimental Art of the 1960s and 1970s
Exhibition Dates: September 1, 2023, to January 7, 2024″Only the Young: Korean Experimental Art of the 1960s and 1970s” explores the groundbreaking and unconventional artworks produced during a period of significant transformation in South Korea. This artistic movement emerged in the aftermath of the Korean War, with young artists responding to the evolving socioeconomic and political landscape both domestically and globally.
This exhibition, hosted at the Guggenheim Museum, is the first of its kind in North America, dedicated to Korean Experimental art (known as “silheom misul”) and the visionary artists who paved the way for some of the most impactful avant-garde practices of the 20th century. Spanning three tower galleries and featuring around eighty artworks, the exhibition provides an exceptional opportunity to witness the creativity and diversity of this generation of Korean artists. Their common thread was not a singular aesthetic but a shared quest for innovation, ultimately leading to the coining of the term “Experimental art” by art historian Gim Mi-gyeong in the early 2000s.
These young artists, both individually and in collectives, broke away from tradition, pushing the boundaries of conventional painting and sculpture while embracing innovative and often provocative approaches to art creation. The exhibited works, encompassing various mediums such as performance, installation, photography, and video, reveal how Experimental artists grappled with pressing issues like individual identity in an era of rapid modernization and globalization, as well as personal autonomy within an increasingly authoritarian state. The exhibition tells the story of how these young Korean artists harnessed the power of art to confront and reenvision an ever-evolving present.
“Only the Young: Korean Experimental Art of the 1960s and 1970s” is a collaborative effort between the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Korea. Curated by Kyung An, Associate Curator of Asian Art at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation, New York, and Kang Soojung, Senior Curator at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea, the exhibition initially premiered at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea, on May 26, 2023, and concluded on July 16, 2023. Following its presentation at the Guggenheim, it will journey to the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles from February 11 to May 12, 2024.
