SUMMARY:Richard Artschwager
DESCRIPTION:“Form always begins with a something. And then if that something occurs in another place\, there is slippage involved and what is created as a result develops a parallel existence to the original thing.  I have located my art in terms of reducing all objects to the attention they demand. This gives me a good shot at innovation\, to put it boldly.”\n—Richard Artschwager \nGagosian is pleased to present an exhibition of works by the late Richard Artschwager from a key period in his career\, 1964 to 1987. \nAssociated with many genres but conforming to none\, Artschwager’s art has been variously described as Pop\, because of its incorporation of quotidian objects and commercial materials; as Minimal\, due to its crisp forms and solid geometric presence; and as Conceptual\, owing to its cerebral engagement with information. This rare survey of the early decades of Artschwager’s varied career demonstrates his ability to rearrange the structures of perception\, bringing the deceptive pictorial world of images into direct confrontation with the concretely human world of objects. \n\nThrough shifts in scale and transpositions of form and material\, Artschwager’s artworks prompt an ongoing reassessment of space and time\, suggesting compound narratives and compositional complexities\, often at once quotidian and surreal. Employing synthetic\, commercial\, and industrial materials\, Artschwager transformed his sources with a deadpan visual wit that makes the familiar strange. In 1962 he began working with Formica\, a radically unconventional and “low” material\, then most closely associated with the slippery surface of lunch counters. Its high-shine\, typically marbled finish is both recognizable from everyday life and bears an abstract resemblance to expressionist painting. The early 1960s also marked the beginning of Artschwager’s experiments with Celotex\, a heavily textured compound board made from compressed sugarcane fiber\, which he used as a ground for his singular grisaille paintings\, the waywardness of the industrial material blurring and obscuring his hand-drawn lines. These compositions were often based on subjects both arcane and mundane; Interior (1964)\, for example\, is a semiabstract\, diagrammatic perspectival image of a domestic setting\, narrowing as depth perception progresses. \nArtschwager’s sculptural works demonstrate the ways in which he integrated artisanal skills into intellectual and formal experiments in perception and composition. In Sliding Door (1964)\, the door of a cabinet casts a shadow within the work’s pale interior\, generating a constantly changing pattern that shifts along with light and the motion of the viewer around the object. Untitled (1965)\, made from Formica and wood\, uses a circle’s curvature in the same way; while nonfunctional\, it mimics the utilitarian aesthetic of an audio speaker or household appliance\, demonstrating Artschwager’s ability to meet our expectations of an object or picture only to then subvert them. \nA fully illustrated bilingual catalogue will be published on the occasion of the exhibition\, with an essay by curator Dieter Schwarz. \nGagosian would like to thank CFHILL Art Space\, Stockholm\, for their collaboration on this project. \nA retrospective of Artschwager’s work curated by the late Germano Celant opened at the Museo di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto\, Italy\, in October 2019\, and traveled to the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum in February 2020. \n\nImage:\nRichard Artschwager\, Installation View\, Gagosian Rome\, 2021\nPhoto: Matteo D’Eletto\, M3 Studio\nCourtesy Gagosian Artwork © 2020 Richard Artschwager / Artists Rights Society (ARS)\, New York

SUMMARY:Stanley Whitney
DESCRIPTION:STANLEY WHITNEY\nJune 3 – July 31\, 2020 \n“The color\, the light\, the ancient architecture—I never tire of contemplating Rome. Rome always clarifies and inspires my work. The current form of my painting started to take shape in the nineties when I was absorbed in the city and looking at ancient and Renaissance architecture. In Rome\, there is an order\, an ancient rhythm\, that I want in my paintings.”\n—Stanley Whitney \nGagosian is pleased to present new paintings by Stanley Whitney. This is his first exhibition with the gallery and his first major exhibition in Rome\, where he lived for five years during the 1990s. The exhibition features works produced in Italy and the United States. \nWhitney’s vibrant abstract paintings unlock the linear structure of the grid\, imbuing it with new and unexpected cadences of color\, rhythm\, and space. Deriving inspiration from sources as diverse as Piet Mondrian\, free jazz\, and American quilt making\, Whitney composes with blocks and bars that articulate a chromatic call-and-response within each canvas. \n\nWhitney has spent decades experimenting with the seemingly limitless potential of a single compositional method\, loosely dividing square canvases into multiple registers. The thinly applied oil paint retains his active brushwork and allows for a degree of transparency and tension at the borders between each rectilinear parcel of vivid color. In varying canvas sizes\, he explores the shifting effects of his freehand geometries at both intimate and grand scales as he deftly lays down successive blocks of paint\, heeding the call of each color. \nAlthough Whitney has been deeply invested in chromatic experimentation throughout his career\, he consolidated his distinctive approach during a formative trip to Italy in 1992\, shifting his compositions from untethered amorphous forms to the denser stacked arrangements that characterize his mature style. It was Roman art and architecture—including the imposing facades of the Colosseum and the Palazzo Farnese and the stacked shelves of funerary urns on display at the National Etruscan Museum—that informed Whitney’s nuanced understanding of the relationship between color and geometry. \nItaly remains a central and enduring source of inspiration for Whitney\, who spends his summers painting at his studio near Parma. He works steadily and prolifically\, continuously exploring possibilities of hue within his now-signature framework. While in Italy\, Whitney adapts his palette to the history that surrounds him\, permitting muted colors\, rounded beiges and browns\, and Pompeiian red to assume prominence in his rich and varied compositions. \nThese warm tones appear in full force in Bertacca 2 (2019)\, one of three large canvases included in this exhibition that Whitney painted in Italy. Here\, he recreates the shade of vermilion featured throughout the trompe l’oeil Boscoreale frescoes at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples\, transposing this jewellike tone onto his canvas in dense strips and lozenges of paint\, then directly juxtaposing it against the cardinal red that he developed in the United States. Whitney’s contrasting hues create a dynamic interplay of space and mass\, bringing the rhythms of the classical past into conversation with the active present. \n\nImage:\nSTANLEY WHITNEY\nThat’s Rome\, 2019\nOlio su lino<\n243.8 x 243.8 cm\n© Stanley Whitney\nFoto: Rob McKeever\nCourtesy Gagosian

SUMMARY:Gagosian Artist Spotlight | Stanley Whitney
DESCRIPTION:Artist Spotlight: Stanley Whitney\nStanley Whitney has been deeply invested in chromatic experimentation throughout his career\, but it was the experience of Italian art and architecture\, both ancient and modern\, that informed his unique understanding of the nuanced relationship between color and geometry. His highly dynamic abstract paintings unlock the grid\, imbuing it with new and unexpected cadences of color\, rhythm\, and space. Deriving inspiration from sources as diverse as Sandro Botticelli and Piet Mondrian\, free jazz and American quilt-making\, Whitney composes in varying scales with vibrant blocks and bars that articulate a chromatic call-and-response within each canvas. \nThe exhibition features a key work from the artist’s upcoming first major exhibition with Gagosian\, in Rome\, where he lived and worked during the 1990s. The work will be unveiled on Friday\, April 17\, at 6am EDT. For updates\, please contact the gallery at collecting@gagosian.com. \n\nImage:\nSTANLEY WHITNEY. Photo: EFE/ David Arquimbau Sintes. Courtesy Gagosian \n\nCreated in response to the covid-19 pandemic\, the Artist Spotlight series highlights individual artists\, one week at a time\, whose exhibitions have been affected by the health crisis. A single artwork by the artist is made available with pricing information for forty-eight hours only.
