Join Gagosian and Museo di Palazzo Grimani for a conversation between Rick Lowe; Dieter Roelstraete, curator of the Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society at the University of Chicago; and Abigail Winograd, commissioner and curator of the United States Pavilion at the 60th Biennale di Venezia. The talk will take place inside The Arch within the Arc, featuring new paintings by Lowe inspired by the Palazzo’s historic chambers, the urban dynamics of Venice, and the arc as a visual motif. The group will discuss the exhibition in the context of Lowe’s overall practice, as well as Gagosian’s recently published monograph on the artist, which was coedited by Roelstraete and features essays by both curators. The event is free with museum admission; reservations are recommended.

Social Abstraction

Gagosian is pleased to announce its participation in Frieze Los Angeles 2024 with Social Abstraction, a diverse selection of paintings and sculptures rooted in the exploration of historic qualities of abstraction and contemporary social realities. The first in a sequence of three presentations organized by Antwaun Sargent, Social Abstraction at Frieze Los Angeles will be followed by exhibitions in Beverly Hills this summer and in Hong Kong this fall.
The intergenerational group of Black artists in Social Abstraction—Derrick Adams, Theaster Gates, Cy Gavin, Lauren Halsey, and Rick Lowe—operates beyond purely formal concerns to create artworks that move between and beyond figuration and abstraction. They push shape to become landscape, color to reveal people, and texture to map the totality of experience.
