Frieze New York 2023
Nan Goldin

Gagosian is pleased to announce Nan Goldin’s debut presentation with the gallery at Frieze New York 2023, following its recent announcement of her representation. For the occasion, Goldin will be showing eight grid works made over the last fifteen years. Goldin selects the photographs for her grids according to formal or psychological themes. The grid format, with which she has been working for over twenty years, emerged from the same associative impulse as her slide shows. As Elisabeth Sussman has written, “The grid, an echo of the slideshow, sums up her view that history and time exist as an aggregate of individual lives.”

Shop Takeover

Nan Goldin

May 14–June 22, 2024
Gagosian Shop, London

Nan Goldin is taking over the Gagosian Shop in London’s Burlington Arcade, offering visitors an opportunity to explore her practice in depth. The basement floor will be transformed into a reading room of books chosen by Goldin, with publications on artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Larry Clark, Andy Warhol, and David Wojnarowicz, and fiction, essays, and memoirs by writers including Toni Morrison, Darryl Pinckney, Lucy Sante, and Sarah Schulman. A wide selection of publications on Goldin are available on the ground floor, including both new and out-of-print exhibition catalogues, monographs, and artist’s books. Also on display are in-progress layouts from Heartbeat, a forthcoming nine-volume catalogue raisonné of Goldin’s photographs published by Steidl. Over the course of the takeover, different pages from this comprehensive publication project will be displayed, revealing Goldin’s notes and markups over the course of its development.

The Shop takeover accompanies an exhibition of Goldin’s early works in the gallery upstairs and Nan Goldin: Sisters, Saints, Sibyls, the second presentation in the Gagosian Open series of off-site exhibitions, on view at 83 Charing Cross Road from May 30 to June 23, 2024.

Support

Art for a Safe and Healthy California
Presented by Jane Fonda, Gagosian, and Christie’s

Art for a Safe and Healthy California is a benefit exhibition and auction presented by Jane Fonda, Gagosian, and Christie’s to support Campaign for a Safe and Healthy California. Artworks donated by artists including Charles Gaines, Frank Gehry, Alex Israel, Nathaniel Mary Quinn, Catherine Opie, Christina Quarles, Ed Ruscha, Jonas Wood, among others, will be sold to help the coalition of voters campaigning to stop oil companies attempting to repeal Governor Gavin Newsom’s SB1137 on the November ballot. The bill provides safe setbacks from oil wells for homes, parks, schools, and playgrounds, as well as requirements to make already pumping wells safer.

The benefit launches on April 9 with a ticketed fundraiser in Beverly Hills hosted by Jane Fonda, Larry Gagosian, Aileen Getty, and Susan and Mark Buell, with cohosts Edythe Broad, Frank Gehry, Wendy and Eric Schmidt, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, and Sean Penn. Highlighted artworks will be on view. A selection of works will be auctioned in the Christie’s Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale during their marquee sale week in May, while another group of works will be presented for sale in an exhibition in summer 2024 at the Beverly Hills gallery.
