On view through August 13, 2024 at The FLAG Art Foundation in New York: 'The Swimmer' is an expansive group exhibition inspired by John Cheever’s 1964 short story of the same name.

Featuring 's "Powerless Structure, Fig. 19" (1998), the exhibition unfolds through a series of disappearances in bodies of water—in pools, lakes, and oceans—through serial works that concern loss and losing oneself.

Likewise, the artist duo's concurrent exhibition 'Landscapes' at leaves viewers to find their own way in the midst of directionless roadsigns and a desert landscape.

Opening in Paris: We are pleased to present "Edge of Beauty," a pop-up exhibition in collaboration with Thaddaeus Ropac featuring fourteen photographs by , curated by Tom Pecheux, Global Beauty Director for YSL Beauty.

Renowned for his style of elegant, aesthetic simplicity across fashion imagery, portraiture, and experimental personal work, Irving Penn produced beauty photographs that are distinctive for their understated humor and technical concision. These works—many made for Vogue during his sixty-five-year tenure there—illustrate concepts loosely related to the cosmetics featured in the magazine, often employing the same formal qualities established by Surrealism to hybridize editorial imagery with fine art.

Later this year, 's first-ever solo exhibition in Japan will bring together new and recent works that ride the edge between stillness and motion, much like that of the Japanese art and material culture that has long inspired the artist.

Enactments of tilting, contorting, bending, and melting recur throughout her sculptures, which, unearthing the expressive potential of material and form, force us to sit with—and move around—their contradictions.

Coming soon to : Marking ’s first solo show in Tokyo, ‘yesterday I was a tiny tube of toothpaste’ spotlights new, never-before-exhibited paintings produced in 2023 and 2024.

The exhibition, which will be on view from September through October, will shed light on one of the hallmarks of Mohamedi’s practice: her use of abstraction to forge a patchwork of stories and scenes from her daily life and interpersonal relationships.

For these works, she drew inspiration from her personal diary chronicling her brief time working in Japan two decades ago. In creating her new paintings—half of which are named for people and places that she encountered and wrote about in her journal during that trip—the artist reentered and reactivated the psychic space of her 20s, weaving together coincidences and serendipitous situations from her formative experience abroad and the present circumstances of her life.

To accompany this exhibition, will produce a facsimile featuring an excerpt from her Japan diary and a new text by writer Brian Dillon.

Coming soon to : 's first solo show in Korea, 'Form at Now and Later 形而の而今而後' opens June 28.

This presentation will bring together new and recent paintings and sculptures by the Japanese artist, with a focus on his investigations into time, space, and perception through a language of abstraction.

Coming soon to : ’s first solo exhibition in Asia opens June 28, 2024.

'Les Albatros' will feature five new paintings that explore the question: What does it mean to paint a landscape in our times? The unstretched and draped canvases, shown only on the verso, will interact with the gallery surroundings to complicate the boundaries between interiority and exteriority, and nature and artifice.

On view in our booth (A7) at : ’s “Sail and Peaks” (maquette), c. 1956

Calder’s maquettes from the late 1950s demonstrate his increasing interest in making large-scale sculpture. “Sail and Peaks” (maquette) (c. 1956), comprising five sheets of sheet metal painted black, features four pointed crests offset by a gently curving lobe.

This tangle of intersecting planes cuts into the surrounding space suggesting volume and weight. Despite their intimate scale, maquettes from this period have an enduring presence that evokes mass and muscularity.

“I think what emerges in [the show’s] paintings is the feeling of a visual vocabulary,” he says. “Working with it — but also working to abandon it. Which is to say, using it, but always trying to find something new.” –

This sculpture is an example of 's engagement with the theme of childhood, particularly the challenges of growing up and living up to societal expectations.

"Renowned for his use of simple materials like wood, paper, and fabric, Richard Tuttle also installed his work for this show.

Quin's paintings are, as described by Arne Glimcher, "like storms harnessed at the moment of exquisite danger." For Quin, the act of painting involves the risk of getting lost. To paint is to give up a fixed location – in space but also in language.

We are pleased to announce our representation of the estate of , a profoundly influential artist, theorist, and teacher in postwar Japan.

Over the course of four decades, Takamatsu worked across painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, and performance. Takamatsu made immeasurable contributions to the international avant-garde of the 1960s and 1970s, and played a key role in the advent of Conceptual Art.

A painting from the artist's celebrated Shadow series will figure prominently in our presentation at this year's edition of Art Basel. This fall, we will mount an exhibition dedicated to Takamatsu's work at our flagship New York gallery, bringing together his Shadow and Perspective concepts.

We will represent Takamatsu internationally in collaboration with Yumiko Chiba Associates and Stephen Friedman Gallery.

Several works from 's Hong Kong exhibition “Birds on a Boat” feature groupings of the artist’s transient, nomadic figures situated amid formidable trees, churning coastlines, and other natural settings that the artist injects with otherworldly and fantastical qualities.

In these works, the artist has said, it’s unclear whether the diminutive figures have found themselves in these environments “out of leisure or out of desperation.” For viewers, the wind, rain, and other natural forces depicted in these paintings are visceral and deeply felt.

Included through March 31 in the main exhibition of the second Thailand Biennale, "X.laevis (Spacelab)" by portrays a frog suspended in zero gravity at the center of a hermetic vitrine.

The scene is a response to scientific experiments, captured on video and posted to YouTube during a mission of the space shuttle Endeavor in 1992, that established that vertebrates can reproduce in zero gravity. At random intervals, the frog, which hangs at the center of the clinical spacelab, spasms uniquely, sending it into an uncontrollable spin before it attempts to correct itself. Depicting a suspended interplay of the human and natural world, Gerrard's work forces the viewer to anticipate a future in which sustaining life beyond Earth becomes critical to human survival.

Opening tomorrow at our New York gallery, "The One Hundred Circle Farm" features some 30 pigment prints from 's series of circular farms, many of which have been printed for the first time.

Depicting scars left by industry as well as traces of geological and climatic processes, the works in this series can be understood as studies of mark-making on the Earth. These images invite reflection on timely questions of sustainability, agricultural practices, and water use through a visual language that often borders on abstraction.

"With no object, no image and no focus, what are you looking at? You are looking at you looking." — ⁠

Placing experiences of time and space at the core of his practice, "Elemental," Turrell’s installation at our Geneva gallery, emits a work of art that escapes physical boundary. Imperceptible pulsating transitions of color mimic the animal mechanics of breathing. Yet, framed with curved corners akin to plane windows—or the convex appearance of the horizon line—the work is elevated to celestial proportion.⁠
