• CINDY SHERMAN

    Globally renowned for her exploration of identity and gender through the performance of meticulously observed personas for the camera.

  • ED CLARK

    Clark remained under-acknowledged for much of his career, but he received late recognition in his lifetime, a recognition that continues to grow. Stylistically, his work bridges the physicality and spontaneity of Abstract Expressionism with the structured clarity of hard-edged abstraction, cementing his significance in postwar painting.

  • RITA ACKERMANN

    Presents a new series of paintings and large, related works on paper that take up the theme of the double. In the works on view, Ackermann does not just evoke the presence of a dual entity but unveils its structure. Innovative in their unexpected combinations of materials and defined by a sharp conceptual tension, these works draw inspiration from two giants of French culture—Jean-Luc Godard and Paul Virilio. The results are as unsettling as they are exacting.

  • MICHAELA YEARWOOD-DAN

    Through paintings, sculpture, site-specific murals and installations, Michaela Yearwood-Dan endeavors to build spaces of community, abundance and joy. In these multiple mediums, Yearwood-Dan explores the quieter tones of femininity and queer community guided by deep intuition.

  • WILLIAM KENTRIDGE

    With ‘A Natural History of the Studio,’ his first exhibition with Hauser & Wirth in New York, renowned South African artist William Kentridge will present his acclaimed episodic film series ‘Self-Portrait as a CoffeePot’ with more than seventy works on paper integral to its creation and an array of sculptures at 542 West 22nd Street. This immersive exhibition is the first ever to present all the drawings from this filmic masterpiece, hailed by critics as a moving, witty and ultimately wondrous synthesis of the personal and the political, the individual and the universal.

DAVID SALLE

David Salle’s paintings are immediately recognisable for their juxtaposition of contrasting visual elements that he appropriates from popular culture, spanning cartoon imagery, advertising, graffiti and the history of art. By combining seemingly unrelated images in diverse representational styles that seem to float past one another in virtual space, he plays with viewers’ aesthetic expectations and sense of perspective. Using cinematic techniques such as montage and superimposition, he creates a world of simultaneity and equilibrium that establishes dynamic and even absurd relationships. The artist reflects on the constant input of images and ideas from the media-dominated world, which become part of the collective consciousness and, in turn, influence our own sense of self.
