New Representation
Carol Bove
Gagosian is pleased to announce the global representation of Carol Bove. Born in Geneva, and raised in Berkeley, California, Bove relocated to New York in 1993, and is still based there. Since the early 2000s, she has focused on the interdependence of artworks and their contexts. From found objects to industrial construction elements and architectural sites, her poetic use of materials is amplified by her current work in large-scale metal sculpture. Bove embraces the strategies of modernist formalism as a point of departure, exploring previously overlooked openings in the conventional narrative of art history.
This fall, Gagosian will present her work in New York at its Park & 75 location, which is known for its twenty-four-hour visibility from Park Avenue. Further, Bove will present new sculpture during Paris+ par Art Basel, integrating her work within the context of the gallery’s wider historical program.
