Gentleman’s Relish
Casey Kaplan is extremely proud to present the gallery’s first solo exhibition Gentleman’s Relish with New York based artist, Matthew Brannon. Utilizing our three separate gallery spaces, the project presents: new silkscreen and letterpress prints, paintings, sculptures, and a series of collaborative artworks with the designer and artist, Carlo Brandelli. These artworks suggest various props, personas, sets, dialogues, and scenarios of an unpublished noir mystery narrative(written by Brannon) – the plot of which involves a sexually frustrated private detective who is hired to investigate a murder whose prime suspect is a sexually deviant dentist.

Rasha Kahil & Liane Lang
Both Rasha Kahil and Liane Lang’s artistic practices deal with the human body as form that is alien in its contextual landscape – their work is sometimes confrontational or unsettling, often beautiful and always compelling.
Each of their works shown in this exhibition is irreverent in its own way – in Kahil’s body of work “In Your Home: 2008-2011″ she subverts the domestic sanctity of other peoples living spaces as she covertly disrobes and documents her fleeting nudity in a series of unlikely looking living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms.
Liane Lang’s series “Spectres” utilizes a more reverential environment – the classical cast museum at Heidelberg, Germany – in which to interject. In and around the pure-white casts of Herculean & mythic figures she places finely crafted mannequins, creating intimate and subversive relationships.

de Kooning: A Retrospective
This is the first major museum exhibition devoted to the full scope of the career of Willem de Kooning, widely considered to be among the most important and prolific artists of the 20th century. The exhibition, which will only be seen at MoMA, presents an unparalleled opportunity to study the artist’s development over nearly seven decades, beginning with his early academic works, made in Holland before he moved to the United States in 1926, and concluding with his final, sparely abstract paintings of the late 1980s. Bringing together nearly 200 works from public and private collections, the exhibition will occupy the Museum’s entire sixth-floor gallery space, totaling approximately 17,000 square feet.

Ian Wallace
Hauser & Wirth is pleased to present an exhibition of four new groups of work by Vancouver-based artist Ian Wallace. With these works, Wallace takes the discourses of painting, sculpture and architecture and unites them within a single framework. As a development from the literary, expressive themes of his previous works, Wallace focuses on a ‘classical’ construction influenced by the compositions of modernism and minimalism in art and architecture.

Out of My Mind, Back in 5 Minutes
Maccarone is proud to present Hanna Liden’s “Out of My Mind, Back in 5 Minutes”, the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Well-known for her conceptual photographic explorations which often employ sculptural form as prop, Liden here displays a group of new three-dimensional work standing on its own, a series of handmade, labor-intensive yet seemingly effortless objects. With repetitious form and mutation of refuse, these discrete installations offer a meditation on urbanity. Liden takes common objects of plastic bags and T-shirts to harken the ubiquity ever-present within New York.

John Baldessari – Pure Beauty
John Baldessari: Pure Beauty (on its last leg following stints at the Tate Modern, Museu d’ Contemporani de Barcelona and LACMA) opened at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. It’s the first major U.S. retrospective of his work in nearly 20 years. Considered one of the most influential conceptual artists to come out of the 20th century, Baldessari was bucking the system long before it was cool, and then mundane to do so.

Rachel Whiteread
This is the latest in a new series of sculptures for outdoor spaces in which Whiteread has substituted robust materials such as stone and concrete for the more fragile plaster, rubber, and resin of many of her best-known works. It comprises five approximately cubic forms of varying size and surface texture, arranged in a straight line. Small linear cutouts disrupt the otherwise smooth surface of each cube.
