Gagosian Gallery Los Angeles is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by British artist Dexter Dalwood. Highly celebrated for his recent exhibitions, including a solo show at Gagosian Gallery, London, 2001 and "Neurotic Realism, Part Two" at the Saatchi Gallery, 1999, Dalwood's paintings of fictional interiors of actual places and celebrity homes were greeted with a great degree of critical acclaim.
Although we have not visited the places Dalwood paints, they are familiar scenes or events ingrained in the public consciousness through media images and contemporary folklore. With this new series, Dalwood continues his exploration into unpopulated fictional interiors, often depicting critical moments of contemporary history or scenes of celebrity tragedy. He reinvigorates the genre of history painting, playing upon our fascination with the macabre and our obsessive intrigue with the lives of the famous. Characteristic of Dalwood's work is the inclusion of painterly elements or devices appropriated from well-known twentieth century artists, including Francis Bacon, Ed Ruscha and Morris Louis.
This series covers a wide range of subjects including celebrity scandal (The White Bronco; Chappaquidick), politics (Nixon's Departure), art (Situationist Apartment May '68), music (Ian Curtis 18.5.80 ) and philosophy (Nietzsche's Chalet). White Bronco, 2001, depicts a critical moment of the notorious O.J. Simpson high-speed car chase. The reflection in the rearview mirror reads HOLLYWOOD in reverse – as in the famous Ed Ruscha painting – while the scene in the side mirror of a helicopter hovering against a fiery orange sky is reminiscent of scenes from Apocalypse Now. In Situationist Apartment May '68, 2001, Twombly-like scrawls decorate the wall, above which reads the word FREEDOM in topsy-turvy block letters. Referring to the tense post-Watergate political climate, Nixon's Departure, 2001, painted in a late Picasso cubist style, depicts a white house divided.

In this video, Jenny Saville sits down inside her first major exhibition in Venice to discuss how the great Venetian artists of the past and the city’s heritage influence her work. The show brings together more than thirty canvases and works on paper from the 1990s to the present, tracing the development of her practice, which is deeply rooted in the history of painting.

Francis Bacon lived and worked in Paris for a decade starting in the mid-1970s. The city and the art he encountered there provided a profound backdrop for his austere late style, which often brings together smooth, colorful backgrounds, spare architectural signifiers, and sculptural human forms. Here, three striking paintings from that period are considered by Sebastian Smee.

An exhibition at Gagosian, Hong Kong, brings together three of James Turrell’s Glasswork pieces along with site plans, photographs, and models of his Skyspaces and Roden Crater. Here, Alice Godwin explores the history of the Glassworks and their relationship to the artist’s wider practice.

On April 16, the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, opened the first midcareer survey of Derrick Adams’s multidisciplinary practice. Covering over twenty years of work, the exhibition, titled View Master, brings together the artist’s painting, sculpture, collage, performance, and video, as well as a vibrant new commission created for the museum’s façade. Ahead of the opening, Adams met with Tessa Bachi Haas, cocurator of the survey, to discuss his formative experiences with television, the impact of his work in arts education on his practice, and the importance of taking a more complex, more joyful, and more expansive approach to Black American life and culture.

Adam D. Weinberg has been working with Giuseppe Penone on an exhibition of the artist’s new sculptures, The Reflection of Bronze, that opens at Gagosian, New York, on April 22. The works explore the character and possibilities of bronze. Here, Weinberg considers Penone’s enduring engagement with the alloy and addresses the conceptual underpinnings of the exhibition’s three-room structure.

On March 28, a major exhibition of Jenny Saville’s work opened at Ca’ Pesaro–Galleria Internazionale d’Arte Moderna in Venice, bringing together nearly thirty paintings from the 1990s to the present. The exhibition is curated by Elisabetta Barisoni, head of the museums division at Venice’s Ca’ Pesaro, Museo Fortuny, and head of MUVE in Mestre. Saville’s monumental canvases are set in dialogue with the great Venetian artists of the past, creating a unique encounter between contemporary painting and the city’s artistic heritage. Here, the artist speaks with Stefania Ventra, professor with Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, about her early trips to Venice, the radicality of Titian’s painting, and depicting emotional truth.

Jeff Koons tells Alison McDonald about his appreciation for the pioneering artist and thinker Marcel Duchamp.

The Singular Experience at Gagosian’s Le Bourget gallery is the largest exhibition of Walter De Maria’s work in France in several decades. Organized by Donna De Salvo, senior adjunct curator at Dia Art Foundation, the exhibition marks the first time De Maria’s final sculpture, Truck Trilogy (2011–17), is being shown outside of the United States. Here, De Salvo speaks with artist Lucy Raven about her evolving kinship with De Maria and more.

Here, Sarah Godfrey tracks Pomellato’s history, speaks with Cappellieri about what drew her to this project, and examines some of the key photographs from the show.
