Perrotin is pleased to return to Art Basel with a dynamic presentation that showcases the diversity of the gallery’s program. The booth features 8 solo presentations by Nina Chanel Abney, Genesis Belanger, Anna-Eva Bergman and Hans Hartung (shown in dialogue), Lynn Chadwick, Izumi Kato, Lee Bae, Mr., and Pieter Vermeersch, alongside a selection of new works by artists from the gallery’s roster.
The gallery is also delighted to participate in this year’s Unlimited program with a monumental set of sculptures by Izumi Kato and a large-scale painting by Hernan Bas.
Mr.’s solo presentation includes a wide range of media—paintings, shaped canvases, sculptures, and works on paper—where his neo-pop language embodies the otaku and youth subcultures of post-war Japan in which he grew up. The often sparkling spirit of his manga-influenced figures belies an underlying darkness and desire for escapism, shaped by deep-rooted experiences of family trauma and collective national trauma in the aftermath of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Included in the Unlimited program, Izumi Kato also has a solo presentation composed of new combined paintings and sculptures.
Known for her psychologically charged mise-en-scènes, Genesis Belanger presents new sculptures, including new two-dimensional works—sculptural wall reliefs and mosaics–along with a three dimensional ceramic hand.
The booth also features paintings and photographs by Anna-Eva Bergman and Hans Hartung. Concurrently, a major exhibition dedicated to the couple will be on view at Kunsthalle Praha, bringing the two artists into dialogue for the first time.
Pieter Vermeersch, renowned for his site-specific interventions, presents a compelling solo presentation featuring a new body of sculptural works crafted from painted marble slabs, shown in dialogue with his latest gradient paintings.
The gallery is launching a collaboration with Nina Chanel Abney, unveiling new works through a solo presentation at the booth ahead of her first solo exhibition at Perrotin Paris this September.
Finally, for the second consecutive year, the gallery takes over the booth’s third floor with the solo presentation by Korean artist Lee Bae that includes sculptures and wall works.
Concurrently with the fair, Swiss artist Julian Charrière opens a solo exhibition at the Tinguely Museum in Basel, while a selection of new works are featured in the booth. This was produced by Museum Tinguely, Basel, in cooperation with Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg.
Alongside the solo presentations, the booth gathers an expansive and diverse selection of works by gallery artists including Monira Al Qadiri, Jean-Marie Appriou, Iván Argote, Daniel Arsham, Hernan Bas, Jason Boyd Kinsella, Sophie Calle, Julian Charrière, Johan Creten, Gabriel de la Mora, Wim Delvoye, Mathilde Denize, Nick Doyle, Jens Fänge, Bernard Frize, Elizabeth Glaessner, Laurent Grasso, Nancy Graves, Thilo Heinzmann, Gregor Hildebrandt, JR, Izumi Kato, Bharti Kher, Klara Kristalova, Georges Mathieu, Takashi Murakami, Danielle Orchard, Jean-Michel Othoniel, Paola Pivi, Paul Pfeiffer, Qi Zhuo, Matthew Ronay—in conjunction with his solo exhibition at Perrotin Paris—Gérard Schneider, Jesús Rafael Soto, Pierre Soulages, Xavier Veilhan, Bernar Venet, and Xiyao Wang.
