Gagosian is pleased to participate in the ninth edition of West Bund Art & #design. The gallery will present new works made for the fair by Georg Baselitz, Roe Ethridge, Thomas Houseago, Alex Israel, Harmony Korine, Adam McEwen, Jim Shaw, Alexandria Smith, Spencer Sweeney, and #tatianatrouve, alongside works by Ashley Bickerton, #ursfischer, Katharina Grosse, Damien Hirst, #takashimurakami, Nam June Paik, Richard Prince, Ugo Rondinone, Ed Ruscha, Richard Wright, and Zeng Fanzhi.
Takashi Murakami combines traditional and contemporary imagery in the epic canvas The Lion of the Kingdom that Transcends Death (2018), bombarding the viewer with a multicolored riot of cartoon skulls and feline avatars.
Zeng Fanzhi's tangled landscape Untitled (2019) extends the artist's visual exploration of Taoist insights into the transience of human life and endeavor in the context of a boundless natural world, while the expressive, meandering lines that distinguish Georg Baselitz's ink-on-paper drawing Adler (2022), one of a grouping of related examples, trace an abstracted form.
Sculptural works on view include Urs Fischer's The Grass Munchers (2007), a cast of the artist's arms and clavicle to which differently hued, disembodied hands have been appended, reflecting the artist's fascination with damaged classical statuary, and Notes on Sculpture (2022), Tatiana Trouvé's arrangement of everyday objects cast in bronze and pieces of fruit carved in stone, a subtle composition of disparate elements that appears precariously balanced but is in fact stably composed.
