David Zwirner belongs to the global art gallery empires (
davidzwirner). The art dealer has 2 spaces in New York`s Chelsea district (519, 525 & 533
West 19th Street & 537 West 20th Street). Now they are celebrating heir
25th anniversary. On this occasion, the gallery presents a special exhibition celebrating
the artists who have shaped the gallery’s program since its founding in
1993.
I enjoyed the show and I liked the displayed variety of ideas & styles. I present here my favorites from the exhibition, a very subjective selection as usual. Not all art work was tagged but I could recognize most of the artists.
Above this paragraph a painting by the German artist
Neo Rauch, who easily can be identified because of his idiosyncratic style. DZ had a Neo Rauch exhibition in 2014 (here my
report)
Above a work by
Lisa Yuskavage who also has an unique style. DZ had a Yuskavage show in 2015 (
driveby ).
I believe this bird was created by
Jeff Koons who is also represented by David Zwirner. New York`s Whitney Museum had a large Koons retrospective in 2014 (here my
report).
I think the painting above is by the late German artist
Sigmar Polke.
Above two portraits by
Marlene Dumas.
This abstract is painted by
Oscar Murillo.
Above a work by
Lucas Arruda. They had to saw a crack into the wall for this.
Riots In London
Above a fascinating photography by
Stan Douglas. It looks like Hamburg after the G20 riots, but the photo is a staged image of riots in London in 2011: "Douglas acquired footage from Sky News and selected frames he wanted to
recreate. Then he took a helicopter over the exact locations and spent
four months digitally rendering the resulting images in a process that
included making rudimentary 3D models of all the people in the scene so
that they would cast shadows, and superimposing historical buildings in place of the newly built shop fronts" (
theguardian).
Above photographs by
William Eggleston &
Thomas Ruff.
Stay tuned.
