Art Basel Unlimited 2022 will feature Jim Shaw’s installation Not Since Superman Died (2014). The work takes the form of a sequence of large suspended banners depicting Superman in moments of peril and distress. The costumed hero’s dramatic postures, painted in graphic black-and-white against a soft, faux-theatrical backdrop depicting Central Park, are rendered in the style of Wayne Boring, primary artist for DC’s Superman comics of the 1950s and early ’60s.

Art Basel Unlimited 2022 features Rachel Whiteread’s sculpture Untitled (Upstairs) (2001). The sculpture is one of three casts of domestic staircases that Whiteread made in her then-new home and studio in Bethnal Green, London, in response to a commission from the Guggenheim Museum. The casting process has transformed the familiar structure into an uncanny abstraction—a strange, ghostly simulacrum that evokes the experience of loss and the operation of memory.

May 25–31, 2022

Tetsuya Ishida (1973–2005) came of age as a painter during Japan’s “lost decade”—a time of nationwide economic recession that lasted through the 1990s. In his afflictive paintings, he captured the feelings of hopelessness, claustrophobia, and emotional isolation that burdened him and dominated Japanese society. Throughout his career, Ishida provided vivid allegories of the challenges to Japanese life and morale in paintings and graphic works charged with dark Orwellian absurdity.

Gagosian is pleased to announce participation in Frieze New York 2022, with a solo presentation of work by Albert Oehlen that shines a light on the commercial nature of life in general and art fairs in particular.

April 6–12, 2022

In her cast and carved sculptures, site-specific installations, and large-scale drawings, Tatiana Trouvé assesses the relationship between memory and material, pitting the ceaseless flow of time against the remarkable endurance of common objects. She invents, even inhabits, environments that straddle studio, street, landscape, and dream.

March 16–22, 2022

Applying the term “mistakism” to his combination of wayward aesthetics and non sequitur wit, Miami-based artist and filmmaker Harmony Korine fuses backwoods surrealism with narcotic abstraction to conjure a perverse, disorienting vision. His paintings and mixed-media works incorporate materials such as leftover household emulsion and old videotapes in designs that reflect on memory and emotion. Ranging from swirling psychedelic grids to hand-painted figuration, Korine’s artworks mirror the deliberate confusion of staging and improvisation that characterizes his films, presenting images united by their hypnotic restlessness.

December 8–14, 2021

In his intricately painted silk portraits and landscapes, Hao Liang filters the techniques, themes, motifs, and conventions of traditional Chinese guohua ink wash painting through a contemporary, cosmopolitan sensibility. Referencing projects and oeuvres from a variety of disciplines, periods, and contexts, he weaves together outwardly divergent influences, ranging from classical poetry to modern literature, film theory, and modern art. Much of Hao’s work is concerned with perspectives on temporality. He positions image making not simply as an exercise in technical skill and art historical knowledge, but also as a reflection of lived experience.

November 17–23, 2021

Sally Mann is known for her photographs of intimate and familiar subjects rendered both sublime and disquieting. Her projects explore the complexities of familial relationships, social realities, and the passage of time, capturing tensions between nature, history, and memory. Central to Mann’s investigation are the landscapes that she has photographed both near her home in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley and across the South for over three decades. Often using a view camera, Mann draws on the history of both her medium and the Southern landscape to produce photographs that are expressive and elegiac.

October 27–November 2, 2021

In his visual art and literary works, Edmund de Waal uses objects as vehicles for human narrative, emotion, and history. His installations of handmade porcelain vessels, often contained in minimalist structures, investigate themes of diaspora, memory, and materiality. Much of his practice is concerned with collecting and collections—how objects are brought together and dispersed—and with the application of craft and placement to the physical and conceptual transformation of interior space. Manifest across his work is a distinct aesthetic philosophy that puts the hand, touch, and thus the human above all else.

Gagosian is pleased to participate in Frieze Masters 2021 with Material Process. Conceived, carved, cast, or constructed—sculpture remained a continuously strong tradition throughout the twentieth century in Britain. Artists such as Henry Moore, Anthony Caro, Michael Craig-Martin, Rachel Whiteread, Damien Hirst, and Douglas Gordon have extended this lineage, often focusing on human figures or body parts, transforming materials and techniques, including language, into a widely diverse practice that is internationally recognized.

Grand Palais Ephémère, Paris
www.parisphoto.com

Gagosian is pleased to participate in Paris Photo 2021 with a presentation of photographs by Cy Twombly, featuring fruit, flower, and landscape imagery. These shots are permeated with images of organic growth, depicting heirloom lemons cultivated in Gaeta, Italy; the petals of tulips and roses; and verdant landscapes captured near the artist’s Lexington, Virginia, birthplace. The evocation of vision and memory and the joyful embrace of life embodied by these photographs extend to the pictures that Twombly took in 2011 of crosses and flowers in a cemetery on the Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy—his final series of photographs.

September 29–October 5, 2021

Rick Lowe’s extensive body of work in painting, drawing, and installation is paired with numerous collaborative projects, undertaken in the spirit and tradition of “social sculpture.” Working closely with individuals and communities, Lowe has identified myriad ways to exercise creativity in the context of everyday activities, harnessing it to explore concerns around equity and justice. In his paintings and drawings, he has developed a visual language based on aerial photographs of dominoes games that reveal their resemblance to maps of urban districts. By tracing and layering the patterns he discovers, he produces works that, while visually abstract, represent the reconfiguration and movement of communities over time.

Messe Basel

Art Basel Unlimited 2021, curated by Giovanni Carmine, will include a major work by Meleko Mokgosi, presented by Gagosian in collaboration with Jack Shainman Gallery, New York. Bread, Butter, and Power (2018) is an epic twenty-one-panel painting that forms one of the eight chapters of Mokgosi’s ambitious project Democratic Intuition (2013–20). Examining the ideals and reciprocities of democracy in a southern African context, each panel depicts the gendered division of labor and its manifestations in daily life—namely, the work involved in maintaining land, families, and households.

September 24–26, 2021, Hall 1, booth U32
Messe Basel

Art Basel Unlimited 2021, curated by Giovanni Carmine, will include a major work by Albert Oehlen. A genre-defying work that exemplifies the artist’s interest in the evocative intersection between the audio and the visual, blech_betty (2017) pairs paintings by Oehlen with sound compositions by Norbert Möslang. The installation comprises ten oil-on-aluminum paintings, each featuring a different variation on Oehlen’s characteristic tree motif. Hidden amplifiers are placed behind each panel, producing shivering metallic vibrations that transform the gallery into a haunting and immersive soundscape.
