About

Continuing the inauguration of the new Gagosian in Beverly Hills, this major exhibition will bring together new and recent painting and sculpture, as well as historical examples, by artists fostered and represented by Leo Castelli.

From the opening of his first gallery in Paris in 1935, just prior to the outbreak of World War II, to the establishment of his celebrated New York gallery in 1957, Leo Castelli has achieved in his profession the greatest possible influence, discernment, and creativity. The landscape of postwar art in America might have been different from what it is, were it not for his insight and encouragement.

The artists who will be included in this tribute are Hanne Darboven, Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, Joseph Kosuth, Roy Lichtenstein, Bruce Nauman, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Ed Ruscha, David Salle, Richard Serra, Frank Stella, Robert Therrien, Cy Twombly, Andy Warhol, and Lawrence Weiner.

Gagosian and the Art Students League of New York hosted a conversation on Roy Lichtenstein with Daniel Belasco, executive director of the Al Held Foundation, and Scott Rothkopf, senior deputy director and chief curator of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Organized in celebration of the centenary of the artist’s birth and moderated by Alison McDonald, chief creative officer at Gagosian, the discussion highlights multiple perspectives on Lichtenstein’s decades-long career, during which he helped originate the Pop art movement. The talk coincides with Lichtenstein Remembered, curated by Irving Blum and on view at Gagosian, New York, through October 21.
