One of the most important painters working today, Tuymans pioneered a distinctive style of figurative painting beginning in the 1980s that has been singularly influential to his peers as well as subsequent generations of artists. Tuymans’s deeply resonant compositions insist on the power of images to simultaneously reveal and withhold meaning. Rendered in a restrained and muted palette, the artist’s canvases are based on preexisting imagery from a range of historical, cultural, and popular media sources.

Hauser & Wirth

Forever Young,’ will re-introduce Josefowitz’s gifts and vision through a meticulous selection of works—including some exhibited publicly for the first time—from the whole of her career. Opening with a collection of early works from the 1970s, including oils on cardboard and drawings on paper in ink, pastel, watercolor and gouache, the exhibition reveals Josefowitz’s incipient, yet voracious, determination to depict the body in both its anatomical and metaphysical dimensions. In portraits and self-portraits from this period, Josefowitz’s subjects appear in a variety of poses accentuating their physical and internal presence alike, as well as their relationships with other bodies.

Pace Gallery

Paglen, whose rigorous practice spans photography, sculpture, video, and installation, is known for his investigations of invisible phenomena and forces, including technological, scientific, socio-political, and historical subjects. Through his work, Paglen has explored artificial intelligence, surveillance, data collection, and militarism in America, meditating on the ways these issues influence modes of perceiving and relating to the natural world, from the landscapes of the American West to the cosmological realms beyond the Earth.

Known for his poetic, visual sensibility and intuitive forms, Fabro (1936–2007) was a central figure in the movement to redefine sculpture in post-war Italy. Closely associated with Arte Povera and included in the group’s first exhibition in Genoa in 1967, Fabro described himself as the ‘heretic’ of the movement—a position which granted him a broad, collective sense of culture that extended beyond a single nation or time period to embrace nature, mythology, and antiquity. Like his fellow poveristi, Fabro’s hybrid practices and radical tautology of materials prompted apt comparisons with the anti-form tendencies of conceptual and process-oriented art.

Perrotin

Danielle Orchard revisits the history of painting to find new possibilities for female representation and embodiment. Her cheeky formalism plays with the grammar and iconography of modern art to create smart, arresting, and often funny images that capture the realities of contemporary womanhood. Though Orchard’s laundresses, odalisques, and bathers are rendered with the sharp and sensuous lines of cubist facture, in their details, they shed the rigidity and sexism of painterly tradition.

Kasmin

Schiemann’s energetic constructions are characterized by boldly abstract figures, vivid cumulous color clouds, and an assertive, instinctive use of shape and line. The artist’s most recent compositions meld fragments and echoes from his former visual vocabulary with new devices that together push the language of gestural abstraction into new territories.

Tina Kim Gallery

For her first exhibition with the gallery, Lee debuts a series of paintings, sculptures, and video, all developed over the course of the past year. These works expand on Lee’s Bondage Baggage series (2018-ongoing), born out of the artist’s longstanding concerns surrounding the physical, psychological, and emotional experiences of a diasporic migratory life. The works included in the exhibition speak to the potentiality of healing and transformation that could take place despite or rather, through mobility and rootlessness. Through abstraction, Lee’s work fluctuates between states of being settled and states of change.

Fort Gansevoort

In her latest works, Cherkassky offers up vibrant figurative compositions to depict scenes of African diasporic communities in Europe, Israel, and the USSR from the 1930s to the present day. Based upon historical research and the artist’s own memories, these paintings examine cross cultural encounters from disparate times and locations. Cherkassky’s personal experiences as the wife of a Nigerian emigrant and mother of a mixed-race child simultaneously inform her perspective and complicate her relationship to the subjects she portrays. Aware of the challenges that come with presenting these works in America—a nation whose own history of African enslavement and white supremacy remains entrenched— Cherkassky aims to engage viewers in open conversation about the aftermath of failed colonial projects.

Galerie Lelong & Co.

Tracing the impact of Ghebreyesus’s experiences as a refugee and immigrant on his practice, I Believe We Are Lost will present paintings and pastels in rich and bold palettes that demonstrate Ghebreyesus’s evolving definition of home, the majority of which will be shown publicly for the first time. Early works will be complemented by a selection of later works, demonstrating the development over time of the artist’s distinct visual language, with a recurring focus on themes of displacement and representations of Eritrea throughout his oeuvre.

Focusing on the land in the face of increasing forms of alienation from it, Manna’s films use a range of narrative methods to examine how land-based practices like farming and foraging are embroiled in and struggle against neoliberal and colonial policies and in turn, climate change. Drawing from specific examples, such as the first withdrawal from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in 2015 in response to the Syrian war—the subject of her film Wild Relatives—Manna underscores the scientific limitations in recovering the loss of biological life, in all of its forms. Her work visualizes the slow violence of industrial agriculture while asking poignant questions about what kind of future is possible in a precarious present.

In the prints on view in New York, Miller exploits DALL•E’s ability to generate images in multiple styles and combine different concepts. The program’s revolutionary comprehension of the complex relationships between text and image has made it—along with rival programs such as Midjourney and Stable Diffusion—the source of an increasing amount of editorial illustration, prompting cultural, legal, and economic concerns around originality, plagiarism, and the continuing viability of professional specialization. Miller’s exhibition heralds a pivotal moment—one that, as the software’s initial flaws are ironed out and its corpus of source material expands, will never be repeated.

The artist has consistently probed the relationship between painting and photography, engaging a variety of styles and innovative techniques in a complex repositioning of genres. In Richter’s work, dual modes of representation and abstraction fundamentally question the way in which we relate to images.

With these twelve large-scale canvases, Clemente mediates the realms of the astral and the earthly and charts their evolution as the wheel of history turns to shape human experience. Returning to a subject he has probed over the years, Clemente here draws inspiration from Paul Klee’s 1920 monoprint Angelus Novus (New Angel), an icon of the Swiss-German artist’s oeuvre that was owned by his friend, the philosopher Walter Benjamin.

Executed in 2010, only a few years before the artist’s death, Echolalia consists of seven colorful, larger-than-life sculptures that seem to stand slightly off-balance, interspersed with three cushioned divans. The work’s title—which refers to the repetition of words and sounds made by young children when learning to talk—was inspired by the artist’s son, who at the time of its creation was three years old and brought his own, distinct perspective to his father’s oversized works.

These large-scale seascapes and landscapes reference atmospheric elements—air, water, light and clouds—and engage concepts of light reflection and refraction. Working in a more expansive format, Lincoln continues her exploration of the cosmos.
