About
I never try to come up with some diabolical strategy to capture the public’s attention. Sometimes it just happens. I guess I go for absolutes.
—Rudolf Stingel
Gagosian is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works by Rudolf Stingel, opening at the gallery at 980 Madison Avenue, New York, on March 14, 2024. This is the first exhibition by Stingel at this location to incorporate paintings into an interior intervention of the kind produced previously for exhibitions at Palazzo Grassi, Venice (2013–14); Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel, Switzerland (2019); Bourse de Commerce, Paris (2022–23); and Gagosian, rue de Ponthieu, Paris (2023).
Adopting a radical approach to art making that devotes equal attention to material, process, image, and concept, Stingel has, over a four-decade career, repeatedly subverted painterly and sculptural orthodoxies. Often addressing themes of time, memory, and perception, his works are contingent upon audiences for their completion, refuting traditional notions of authorship and autonomy. For this exhibition he again undercuts viewers’ expectations, juxtaposing retro components within a reconfigured exhibition space in a bittersweet appeal to nostalgia.
