Blair Thurman: Nell’Acqua Azzurra, presented by Gagosian and Garage Italia, showcases new work by Thurman in the iconic former petrol station Agip Supercortemaggiore in Milan. Featuring standardized forms pulled from slot-car racetracks, architectural frameworks, and found shapes from daily life, Thurman’s work transposes the formal details of everyday objects into the subliminal realm of abstraction. This unique collaboration continues the long tradition of exchange between fine art and the automobile industry that began with the Italian Futurist movement.

Exhibition
Abstract/Not Abstract
December 6–10, 2017
Moore Building, Miami
On the occasion of Art Basel Miami Beach 2017, Gagosian and Jeffrey Deitch are pleased to present Abstract/Not Abstract, their third collaboration at the Moore Building in the Miami Design District. One of the great innovations of modernism, abstract painting continues to inspire and challenge artists. To make a fresh abstraction today following all the remarkable achievements of the School of Paris and the New York School is a daunting proposition. Yet through the use of innovative approaches, techniques, and technologies, this generation of artists is creating complex and astonishing new work that revitalizes the abstract tradition. Abstract/Not Abstract will include work by contemporary artists who redefine abstraction for our time.
