Gagosian to Participate in Inaugural Edition of Paris+
PARIS, October 17, 2022—Gagosian is pleased to participate in the inaugural edition of Paris+ par Art Basel, at the Grand Palais Éphémère. In a unique space by renowned designer Pierre Yovanovitch—his first collaboration with Gagosian—the gallery will present a grouping of new paintings and sculptures complemented by key selections of modern and #contemporaryart.
For the Gagosian booth at Paris+, Yovanovitch has designed an immersive viewing experience. Distinguished by its angular geometry and circular skylight, the partially enclosed space establishes a site for tranquil reflection within the bustling environment of the fair. The octagonal shape of the inner column allows each individual artwork to stand on its own while engaging in dialogue with its neighbors. Consistent with the designer's ethos, the booth's lines, angles, use of light, and a carefully considered color palette accentuate the works and invite the viewer to create a narrative between them.
Highlights of the presentation include Stanley Whitney's new abstract painting Something to Dance To (2022), one of his distinctive "stacked" compositions that takes a polyrhythmic approach to the use of vivid color. Mark Grotjahn's large-scale, densely worked color-pencil drawing Untitled (Tuscan Red and Grey Green Light Butterfly 53.33) (2020) features a radiant form consistent with the artist's long-running investigation into this perspectival motif. Exhibiting a related sense of centrifugal force, Jennifer Guidi's Big Bang (Painted Black Sand, Lavender, Purple, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange and Pink, Black Fill, Black Ground) (2022) is a delicately textured relief of colored sand and paint arrayed in a mesmeric repeating pattern and enlivened by a multitude of small, brightly colored dots of paint.
A new painting by #tituskaphar examines the history of colonial representation and underscores the contemporary relevance of often-unspoken social and political truths around issues of identity, obfuscation, and absence. Adapting the unconventional medium of tar, it forces the viewer to reevaluate materials and meanings acceptable for paintings as narrative form. Nathaniel Mary Quinn's painting Rabbit Man (2022) is a composite portrait of his father derived from personal and found sources that probes the relationship between visual memory and perception. In her painting Untitled (2022), Ewa Juszkiewicz subverts the conventions of Western Grand Manner portraiture by obscuring the face of her female sitter with coifs of painted hair, revisiting modes of historical representation. Also on view is a grouping of Jonas Wood's Pots screen prints, including Matisse Pot 4 (2019), a characteristically bold interpretation of Matisse's Intérieur à la fougère noire (Interior with Black Fern, 1948).
The booth will also feature key historic works of modern and #contemporaryart. Package on a Table (1961) is an early example from Christo's Wrapped Objects series, an approach to sculpture that the artist had initiated in 1958 and would sustain for six decades. Brice Marden's Trade Painting 2 (1974–75) is composed of two conjoined square panels in contrasting hues coated in multiple layers of oil paint and beeswax to achieve a richly saturated surface. Simon Hantaï's Laissée (1981–94) is a result of pliage, the artist's method of folding and crumpling the canvas, painting over it in a single color, and unfolding to reveal complex alternations of pigment and ground.
The gallery's presentation includes additional works by Georg Baselitz, Ashley Bickerton, Lucio Fontana, Helen Frankenthaler, Douglas Gordon, Katharina Grosse, Damien Hirst, Thomas Houseago, Y.Z. Kami, Takashi Murakami, Albert Oehlen, Giuseppe Penone, Pablo Picasso, Sterling Ruby, Ed Ruscha, Richard Serra, Tatiana Trouvé, and Andy Warhol.
Exhibitions at Gagosian galleries in the #paris area that are open during Paris+ include Ed Ruscha: Tom Sawyer Paintings and James Turrell: Confidences at 4 rue de Ponthieu (where Giuseppe Penone's sculpture Albero di 3 metri [1995] will also be shown in a vitrine viewable from outside the gallery); Jenny Saville: Latent at 9 rue de Castiglione; and Richard Serra: Transmitter at 26 avenue de l'Europe, Le Bourget.
