Thomas Dane Gallery at Art Basel
Booth: P13
Private view: June 14
Vernissage: June 15
Public days: June 16-19
For our booth at Art Basel 2016 Thomas Dane gallery will present an exhibition of works exclusively in one medium: paper. Paper has played a central role in artistic investigations throughout history. Due to its versatility paper has become key to many artists’ practices and often provides the space for the most pivotal investigations and has become steeped in the richest historical associations. For this exhibition we have approached many of our artists that often work on paper to produce new, large-scale works specifically for the fair. We will include major pieces from Hurvin Anderson, Cecily Brown, Ella Kruglyanskaya, Michael Landy, Glenn Ligon and Amy Sillman.
We will celebrate our artists for whom working on paper in innovative ways has long been a central trope in their practice and bring together major new works by Arturo Herrera and Abraham Cruzvillegas as well as works literally made 'of' paper by artists less well known for working in this medium: Lynda Benglis, Walead Beshty and Kelley Walker.
We will also include a limited and carefully edited number of works that have informed or influenced our artists who have informed or influenced our gallery artists or whom have partaken in our programme: Bruce Conner, Barbara Rossi and Albert Oehlen.
