Frank Walter

David Zwirner

Frank Walter (1926–2009) created a vast body of work that encompasses a variety of media, styles, and formats. His paintings range from highly individualistic, vividly colored landscapes, to formally inventive and probing portraits, to systematic, abstract compositions, all rendered in the artist’s own absorbing palette and distinctive visual style.

Gina Beavers

Marianne Boesky Gallery

With these works, Beavers continues her examination of the performative nature and myopic self-obsession of social media, particularly within the phenomenon of makeup tutorials. Beavers sources imagery and inspiration from Instagram, YouTube, and other online sources for her drawings, mimicking stills from make-up tutorials as well as images that reference “food porn” photography and the proliferation of consumer culture.

Lyn Liu

Kasmin

Liu’s work addresses the psychological tension underpinning relationships between individuals through a sequence of uncanny cinematic tableaux. Comprised of paintings realized between 2019–2022, the exhibition draws from the artist’s personal experiences of alienation, utilizing symbolism and an atmosphere of the absurd to provoke reflections on what Liu considers our oppressive social reality.

Tara Donovan

Pace Gallery

The presentation spotlights a new body of work made with aluminum insect screen. The works in the exhibition can be understood as an extension of Donovan’s gridded relief prints, which the artist showed in her solo exhibition with Pace in New York in 2021.

Cameron Martin

Sikkema Jenkins & Co.

In his work, Martin explores modes of information transmission and presentation, articulating the potential for abstraction to carry and convey meaning parallel to what is assumed in figuration. Drawing upon a growing lexicon of “almost-signs,” his paintings and drawings engage the viewer’s recognition of familiar cultural forms and their associations without explicitly defining their signification.

Force of Nature, a selection of Abstract Expressionist works, including early never-before-seen works on paper, by the renowned artist.

Frédéric Bruly Bouabré

MoMA

Devoting his life to a quest for knowledge, Bouabré captured and codified subjects from a range of sources, including cultural traditions, folklore, religious and spiritual belief systems, philosophy, and popular culture. “I do not work from my imagination," he once said. “I observe, and what I see delights me.”

Ernesto Neto

Tanya Bonakdar Gallery

Arte Povera and Minimalist sculpture, along with Neo-concretism and other Brazilian vanguard movements of the 1960s and 1970s, Ernesto Neto’s work incorporates organic shapes and materials that engage all five senses. He is inspired by a wide range of sources– from Brazilian avant-garde artists such as Hélio Oiticica and Lygia Clark, through the Modernist abstraction of Alexander Calder and Constantin Brancusi, to the natural world, shamanism and craft culture.

For over four decades, Alfredo Jaar has used photography, film, installation, and new media to create compelling works that examine complex socio-political issues and the ethics and limits of representation.

Maud Madsen

Marianne Boesky Gallery

Madsen expands on her exploration of our emotional connections to a specific time and place and the sanitization of memory. Through her portrayals of the female body, the artist sheds light on topics that are at times uncomfortable to leave room for an unvarnished and more complex truth.

Michaël Borremans

David Zwirner

Over the last twenty years, Borremans has gained international recognition for his innovative approach to painting. Combining technical mastery with subject matter that defies straightforward interpretation, his charged canvases address universal themes with a specifically contemporary complexity. As the artist notes, “I try to be introspective in painting, to have a certain silence in the image.… I want to create an image that just sticks out and doesn’t leave you alone. That could also be due to something irritating I put into the work, or an element of beauty. It can be both.”

Nari Ward

Lehmann Maupin

Ranging in scale from the monumental to the domestic, Ward creates sculptures and installations composed from discarded material found and collected in his Harlem neighborhood, including repurposed objects such as baby strollers, shopping carts, bottles, keys, cash registers, and shoelaces, among other materials.

Sharon Shapiro

Garvey|Simon

Shapiro draws on her experience growing up female in the American South as fodder for her imagery. Fever Dream is at once narrative and enigmatic, engaging the viewer in a seduction while presenting a contemporary viewpoint on feminism and commentary on racial and climate crisis.
