About
Gagosian is pleased to present an exhibition celebrating the years of the pioneering Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles (1957–67). Organized by Irving Blum, the exhibition brings together historical examples of the artists fostered and represented by Ferus during this decade.

Some of the highlights of the exhibition will include Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans from the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York; Ed Ruscha’s Los Angeles County Museum on Fire from the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC; and Ed Kienholz’s Walter Hopps, Hopps, Hopps from the Menil Collection in Houston.

There Is No Neutral Space: The Architecture of Donald Judd, Part 1
Julian Rose explores the question: what does it mean for an artist to make architecture? Delving into the archives of Donald Judd, he examines three architectural projects by the artist. Here, in the first installment of a two-part essay, he begins with an invitation in Bregenz, Austria, in the early 1990s, before turning to an earlier project, in Marfa, Texas, begun in 1979.
