About

Gagosian Gallery is pleased to announce Old Space New Space, the inaugural exhibition of new galleries on the fifth floor at 980 Madison Avenue. Old Space New Space explores the variety of ways in which many younger artists embrace pioneering developments within 20th Century abstraction.

The four featured artists revisit movements that have long since developed into established conventions. Strategies, motifs and techniques such as geometric repetition, abutting monochromatic fields and hurried palette-knife application of paint suggest associations that historically were the province of a specific artistic avant-garde, and which now serve primarily as available formal tools.

While Henning, Moran, Reyle and Tompkins differ greatly in their individual approaches to material, scale and tenor, the works in this exhibition speak to the similarities between them, and illuminate their shared points of inspiration, be they cynical or sincere, effusive or austere, intimate or grand.

Anton Henning was born in 1964 and lives and works in Berlin and Manker, Germany. In his installations and built environments he incorporates paintings that range drastically in size and subject matter, and hangs them salon-style accompanied by furniture and sculpture, thereby defining an entire space as his work.
