News / Carol Bove / Announcements

Carol Bove will be honored, along with fellow artist Kelly Akashi and the late philanthropist Mandy Einstein, for their extraordinary talents and contributions to the arts at the Twelfth Distinguished Women in the Arts Luncheon on January 11, 2024, at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. Established in 1994 by the Projects Council of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the event recognizes the many gifted women providing leadership and innovation in the visual arts, dance, music, and literature. This year’s luncheon will feature a performance by dance company BODYTRAFFIC and a silent auction to raise funds in support of the museum’s mission.

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.
