SUMMARY:Frank Gehry | Spinning Tales
DESCRIPTION:  \n“When I built the first model of the fish\, I saw in it the movement that I was looking for. It was startling that a static object could express motion in such a dynamic way.”\n—Frank Gehry \nGagosian is pleased to present Spinning Tales\, an exhibition of new work by renowned architect Frank Gehry. It pairs large-scale elaborations on the Fish Lamps series with a new installation\, Wishful Thinking (2021)\, and is Gehry’s eighth exhibition with the gallery since 1999. \nCelebrated for his groundbreaking architectural designs\, Gehry has also produced significant bodies of sculpture and furniture\, from Easy Edges (1969–73) and Experimental Edges (1979–82)—chairs and tables made from layers of corrugated cardboard—to bentwood furniture items designed for Knoll (1989–92). The Fish Lamps evolved from a 1983 commission by the Formica Corporation to utilize ColorCore\, a type of plastic laminate. After accidentally breaking off a shard of the material\, Gehry was inspired by its scale-like appearance; molding wire armatures into piscine forms\, he affixed ColorCore fragments to them. \nIn the main gallery\, three outsize\, internally illuminated Fish Lamps sculptures are suspended from the ceiling in dynamic\, twisting poses\, as if swimming through water. In these works\, Gehry has used polyvinyl and copper for the first time. These central forms are surrounded by lively\, colorful sculptures that are more baroque in their ornamentation. While these sculptures are autonomous works\, the “perfect form” of the creature that they emulate reappears throughout Gehry’s architectural oeuvre\, lending itself to the undulating profiles of buildings including the Guggenheim Bilbao\, Spain (1997)\, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall\, Los Angeles (2003). \n\nFilling the upstairs gallery is the immersive installation Wishful Thinking\, based on a scene from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Gehry renders the Mad Hatter’s tea party as a group of ten surreal figures\, twice life-size. Fashioned from brilliantly painted metal\, Gehry’s abstracted interpretations of Carroll’s original characters surround an internally lit table\, the glowing heart of the scene. Three overlapping woven steel “tapestries” of trees evoke the episode’s forest setting\, while a mirror on the opposite wall implicates the viewer. The crumpled surfaces of Wishful Thinking’s figures establish a new visual connection with some of Gehry’s best-known designs. \n\nImage:\nInstallation view\, Frank Gehry: Spinning Tales at Gagosian Beverly Hills\, June 24 – August 6\, 2021.\n© Frank Gehry.

SUMMARY:Nancy Rubins | Fluid Space
DESCRIPTION:“I realized that this stuff has been around a long time\, and it’s passed through this odd transition. Before it was in the earth\, it was floating as a molecule in outer space—it was part of somebody’s star\, or part of somebody’s exploding planet.”\n—Nancy Rubins \nGagosian is pleased to present Fluid Space\, an exhibition of recent sculptures and drawings by Nancy Rubins. \nSince the late 1970s\, Rubins has transformed industrial and found objects—everything from television sets and airplane parts to canoes and carousel animals—into engineered abstractions following rhizomatic patterns. Her first public project\, Big Bil-Bored (1980) was commissioned for the Cermak Plaza shopping center in Berwyn\, Illinois\, and she has continued to work on a large scale ever since; Big Pleasure Point\, a structure composed of more than sixty small water vessels\, was installed outside New York’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in 2006. \nIn Fluid Space (2019–)\, the series from which the exhibition takes its title\, Rubins uses the same cast metal animals that appeared in her Diversifolia series (2016–18)\, now sliced into fragments that expose their seams and undersides\, calling further attention to the shape-shifting potential of the metal itself. These quasi-organic structures bloom from tables and stools\, recalling works such as Table & Airplane Parts (1990–2011)\, which incorporate architectural foundations from which disparate elements emerge. \n\nIn sculptures such as Fizzy’s Nebuli and Noir’s Cluster (both 2019)\, parts of the cast animals are bound together by webs of tensile cables\, producing configurations that are no longer legible as fauna\, reading instead as structures that approximate rosebuds or ivy tendrils. The sculptures’ titles also emphasize their correspondence with cosmic and cellular phenomena. In these and other works\, Rubins testifies to her chosen materials’ resilience while also hinting at ongoing processes of change. \nAlso on view are large-scale and smaller unmounted drawings on paper\, fixed directly to the wall in Rubins’s customary manner. She covers the entire surface of the thick paper with graphite\, producing a dense\, shiny\, steel-gray expanse that bears traces of her hand and gives the impression of bottomless depth. In the larger drawings\, multiple sheets of paper are combined and folded so that they arc away from the wall\, echoing the forms of some sculptures. \n\nImage:\nInstallation view\, Nancy Rubins: Fluid Space at Gagosian Beverly Hills\, June 24 – August 6\, 2021.\n© Nancy Rubins.

SUMMARY:Albert Oehlen | Tramonto Spaventoso
DESCRIPTION:Gagosian is pleased to present Tramonto Spaventoso\, an exhibition by Albert Oehlen comprising the second part of his version of the Rothko Chapel in Houston as well as other new paintings. The first part of the project—consisting of four paintings that mirror the imposing scale of the Color Field compositions in the Chapel while opposing Rothko’s contemplativeness with their frenetic energy—was exhibited at the Serpentine Galleries\, London\, in 2019–20. Both parts make up the work Tramonto Spaventoso (2019–20). \nOehlen uses abstract\, figurative\, and collaged elements to disrupt the histories and conventions of modern painting. By adding improvised components\, he unearths ever-new possibilities for the genre. While championing self-consciously amateurish “bad” painting\, Oehlen continues to infuse expressive gesture with Surrealist attitude\, openly disparaging the quest for reliable form and stable meaning. \nIn the large-scale canvases on view at the Beverly Hills gallery\, Oehlen employs acrylic\, spray paint\, charcoal\, and patterned fabric to interpret and transform John Graham’s painting Tramonto Spaventoso (Terrifying Sunset) (1940–49)\, a work by the Russian-born American modernist painter that he discovered in the 1990s and has been fascinated with ever since. Using Graham’s puzzle-like painting as a vehicle for repeated interpretation\, Oehlen reconfigures elements in diverse and absurdist ways across multiple compositions. The exhibition\, which goes by the same title\, is therefore in part an homage to the earlier\, lesser-known artist. \n\nReworking motifs from Graham’s original\, including a mermaid and a man sporting a monocle and a Daliesque handlebar moustache\, Oehlen improvises on his source. In explosive abstractions in acrylic and spray paint\, he combines graphic brushstrokes\, deliberate “painterly” drips\, surprising color combinations\, and textural obfuscations to test the limits of coherence and legibility. Oehlen’s paintings are characteristically disparate\, challenging the viewer with unexpected shifts in aesthetic and thematic direction. \nTo accompany Tramonto Spaventoso\, Oehlen commissioned music by Steamboat Switzerland\, the experimental jazz ensemble with whom he also collaborated at the Serpentine Galleries. Played at intervals throughout the day\, the recorded composition draws connections with Oehlen’s own visual strategies. \nA fully illustrated catalogue\, featuring a conversation between the artist and curator Mark Godfrey\, will be published on the occasion of the exhibition. \n\nImage:\nALBERT OEHLEN\nTramonto Spaventoso\, 2021\, installation view\n© Albert Oehlen\nPhoto: Jeff McLane\nCourtesy Gagosian

SUMMARY:Gerhard Richter: Cage Paintings
DESCRIPTION:Gagosian is pleased to present Gerhard Richter’s Cage paintings (2006) in Los Angeles and New York. The presentation follows their inclusion\, as a cornerstone\, in the artist’s retrospective\, Gerhard Richter: Painting After All at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York earlier this year. In conjunction with this key group of six paintings\, a new group of drawings created by the artist on consecutive days over the summer of 2020 will be shown for the first time. The Los Angeles exhibition will travel to Gagosian New York in April 2021. \nGerhard Richter said\, “I am very happy that finally the Cage paintings will be shown in Los Angeles and in New York in Larry Gagosian’s galleries\, after all. And I thought adding eight recent drawings would make sense.” \nLarry Gagosian commented\, “I am delighted to have the opportunity to show Gerhard Richter’s extraordinary Cage paintings in Los Angeles and New York. Richter\, like John Cage himself\, has changed the history of art and has had such an enormous influence on subsequent generations of artists. To present this important series alongside new drawings is a great honor for me.” \n\nImage:\nGerhard Richter working on one of his “Cage” paintings\, Cologne\, Germany\, 2006\nArtwork © Gerhard Richter 2020 (05102020)\nPhoto: © Hubert Becker\nCourtesy Gagosian
