Joe Bradley
Eric’s Hair
Joe Bradley: Eric’s Hair is available for online reading from August 12 through September 10 as part of the From the Library series. The catalogue was published for an exhibition at Gagosian, Beverly Hills, in 2017 and features new paintings and sculpture by Joe Bradley. Weaving together both ironic and earnest cultural references and engagements with the tradition and aesthetics of paint on canvas, Bradley’s maverick oeuvre is built on a diverse and deadpan visual language that defies easy categorization. In these works, Bradley tempers the use of color in bold primary swaths with approaches to form and surface that remain resolutely contingent. The publication includes a text by Laura Hoptman.

Tour
American Pastoral
Thursday, March 5, 2020, 6:30pm
Gagosian, Britannia Street, London
Join Gagosian for a tour of the group exhibition American Pastoral. The show juxtaposes modern and contemporary works with historical American landscapes ranging from Albert Bierstadt’s depiction of the sublime in Sunset over the River (1877) to Edward Hopper’s tranquil seaside scene, Gloucester Harbor (1926). Gagosian’s Alice Godwin will focus on a select grouping of exhibited works that seek to challenge the idealized vision of the American Dream that has long been a rich topic of inquiry for artists in the United States. To attend the free event, RSVP to londontours@gagosian.com. Space is limited.
