Judith Bernstein: Public Fears

January 6 – February 15, 2025

509 West 27th Street, New York

Judith Bernstein’s third solo exhibition at the gallery, Public Fears, will survey nearly 60 years of work—from 1966 to the present—underscoring the enduring urgency of Bernstein’s trailblazing artistry. Including new paintings, works on paper, and a restaging of her iconic Signature Piece (1986), this will be Bernstein’s first New York solo exhibition since the acquisition of her major charcoal screw drawing Horizontal (1973) by The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2023. The exhibition anticipates the artist’s major museum retrospective at Kunsthaus Zurich in 2026.

Emil Sands: Salt in the throat

January 9 – February 15, 2025

297 Tenth Avenue, New York

For his debut exhibition in Chelsea, Emil Sands explores shifting codes of human behavior and the influence of the surrounding world in a suite of new paintings. In the open air of a seascape or the shadows of a dense forest, Sands’ settings act as stage sets in which his cast of characters perform, reading one another's subtle gestures. As he exaggerates these figures and invites viewers to extrapolate on their relationships, Sands' considered brushwork and intuitive use of color combine to construct narratives filled with humor and pathos.

A Questionnaire with Jackson Pollock

To coincide with Jackson Pollock: The Early Years, 1934-1947, on view at Musée Picasso-Paris, The Kasmin Review revisits a selection of defining perspectives on Pollock's practice. Shortly after Pollock’s first solo exhibition opened at Peggy Guggenheim’s gallery Art of This Century in 1943, he contributed the following statement to a Los Angeles journal, describing his early influences and the possibilities for modern painting in the United States.

Lyn Liu: H-Dropping

Kasmin at Casa Siza, Mexico City

February 4 – March 28, 2025

Kasmin announces a solo exhibition of new work by Lyn Liu (b. 1993, Beijing), on view at Casa Siza in Mexico City from February 4 through March 28, 2025. In H-Dropping, Liu explores contradictory or nonfunctioning states of being in a suite of 11 paintings, each characterized by the psychological experience of the uncanny, a core motif in Liu’s practice. The exhibition has been realized by Liu to encompass all three exhibition galleries of Casa Siza, a gallery and residence designed by renowned Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza, and coincides with the opening of Zona Maco and Mexico City Art Week. On the occasion of Lyn Liu’s exhibition, Kasmin Books will publish a limited-edition, fully-illustrated artist’s book featuring an original text by critic and essayist Jenny Wu.

Les Lalanne: Zoophites

July 25, 2024

Kasmin Books is pleased to present the fully illustrated catalogue Les Lalanne: Zoophites. The publication accompanies the gallery’s recent eponymous exhibition, staged in homage to the French sculptors Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne and drawn entirely from the collection of Claude’s eldest daughter, Caroline Hamisky Lalanne. Les Lalanne: Zoophites features over 100 color images, little-seen archival photographs, and documentation of major works, including rare collaborative sculptures. New texts by art historians Paul B. Franklin and Daniel Marchesseau provide fresh insights into Les Lalanne’s sculptural universe, grounding their unique artistry in the Surrealist tradition.
