Art Basel Switzerland 2023

Perrotin is pleased to participate in Art Basel’s latest iteration with a solo presentation by Genesis Belanger as part of the Kabinett sector and a monumental sculpture by Jean-Marie Appriou at Unlimited*. The booth also presents a monumental painting from the 70’s by Anna-Eva Bergman, concurrently with her major retrospective at the Musée d’Art Moderne of Paris as well as solo corners by Nick Doyle and Xiyao Wang.

Currently featured in a solo exhibition at the Centre Pompidou-Metz, Elmgreen & Dragset are represented at the booth with The Painter, a new work blending painting and sculpture to evoke the physical movements required to apply paint to canvas. The artist duo will have a solo exhibition at Perrotin Paris in October.

In addition, Maurizio Cattelan presents It, a marble sculpture of a black cat. Icons of ambivalence, black cats are either seen as symbols of bad luck or portrayed as smart sidekicks and lucky charms (especially in popular movies and cartoons). Cattelan’s cat is sitting coyly with its back to us, a potential metaphor for the artist himself, who refuses to explain his intentions leaving the viewers both perplexed and inspired.

Perrotin also presents a work from Sophie Calle’s Last Seen series, first exhibited in 2013 at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, where the artist replaced masterpieces stolen from the museum in 1990 with texts and photos based on what the museum staff remembered about them. The artist will be honored at the Picasso Museum next October.

The booth also features works by Jean-Marie Appriou, Iván Argote, Daniel Arsham ahead of his double exhibition at Perrotin Paris and New York in September, Jason Boyd Kinsella, Chen Fei, Chen Ke, Johan Creten concurrently with his solo exhibition Le coeur qui déborde in Beaulieu-en-Rouergue’s abbey, Wim Delvoye, Jeremy Demester, Mathilde Denize, Jens Fänge, Bernard Frize, Laurent Grasso, Hans Hartung, Thilo Heinzmann, Leslie Hewitt, Gregor Hildebdrandt, JR, Susumu Kamijo, Izumi Kato and Xavier Veilhan concurrently with their solo exhibition at Perrotin Paris, Bharti Kher, Klara Kristalova, Lee Bae, Georges Mathieu, Takashi Murakami, Sophia Narrett, Danielle Orchard, Jean-Michel Othoniel ahead of his solo exhibition at Perrotin New York, Park Seo-Bo, GaHee Park, Paola Pivi concurrently with her solo exhibition at MAC Marseille, Shim Moon-Seup, Song Kun, Josh Sperling, Jesús Rafael Soto, Tavares Strachan, Pieter Vermeersch and Emma Webster.
