About

My work is like a worn step, it is like a smoke detector, it is even like a picture, but it is

more like the space between the letters of words.
—Richard Wright

Gagosian Gallery is pleased to announce Richard Wright's second exhibition with Gagosian Gallery in London, which precedes his exhibition at Tate Britain as one of the four artists shortlisted for this year's prestigious Turner Prize.

Showing at the Davies Street gallery for the first time Wright will create a site-specific work on the ceiling. Given that the form evolves intuitively while Wright paints in situ, the finished work will only be fully visible when the exhibition opens.
