September 4 – October 24, 2024 297 Tenth Avenue, New York The second solo exhibition of work by Dorothea Tanning (1910-2012) at Kasmin concentrates on her late-career collages from the 1980s and 1990s. Celebrating the multidisciplinary spirit of her work, Encyclopedia: The Late Collages of Dorothea Tanning delves into the artist’s universe where literary devices, from humor and irony to paradox and repetition, combine with her personal visual lexicon to inspire, as she once wrote, “Art as metaphor for language.” View More

Julia Isídrez: Mundo de Julia
June 27 – August 14, 2024 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Mundo de Julia, an exhibition of ceramic sculpture by Julia Isídrez (b. 1967, Itá, Paraguay) marks the artist’s first solo exhibition in the United States and runs concurrently with Isídrez’s presentation in Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere, the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia curated by Adriano Pedrosa. Among the most notable sculptors working in South America today, Isídrez has recently emerged on the international stage as a singular voice in contemporary art. She continues to garner broader recognition for elaborating the sculptural and expressive capacity of an ancient methodology passed down by her mother, the famed ceramic artist Juana Marta Rodas (1925-2013). Expanding an indigenous Guaraní tradition in which mothers have taught ceramic techniques to their daughters for centuries, Isídrez reconfigures the sculptural language and traditional forms of her ancestors, fostering her own creative force in the realm of contemporary sculpture.

NARES TRACES
May 16 – June 22, 2024 297 Tenth Avenue, New York The fifteenth solo exhibition at the gallery of work by multidisciplinary artist Jamie Nares (b. 1953) examines over 100 works on paper in a variety of media—namely oil, ink, and enamel—made after refocusing her artistic attention from film to painting in the early 1980s. Coolly perceptive, Nares’ works on paper share the same conceptual focus on movement, rhythm, and measurements of time that has driven the artist’s various bodies of work over the last fifty years. This exhibition points to paper as an essential instrument in Nares’ ongoing exploration of these themes. View More -
William N. Copley: LXCN CPLY
April 4 – May 11, 2024 297 Tenth Avenue, New York William N. Copley: LXCN CPLY will explore the artist’s repertoire of recurring imagery and is the first exhibition to center Copley’s development of his signature visual language.

Alexis Ralaivao: On s’enrichit de ce que l’on donne, on s’appauvrit de ce que l’on prend
June 8 – August 11, 2023 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Featuring eleven new oil paintings, the exhibition reveals recent developments among Ralaivao’s signature detail views of human figures and the proprieties they observe. Articulating a sentimental ethnography of contemporary virtues and comportments, Ralaivao’s softly-rendered studies are drawn from 21st-century social life. View More -
Daniel Gordon: Free Transform
April 27 – June 3, 2023 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Spanning the exhibition is the seven-panel Panoramic Still Life (2023), which extends 23 feet in width and functions as a single site-specific installation while allowing for its alternate presentation in individual works or groupings. Pushing the limits of both scale and dimensionality, Gordon expands the viewer’s visual experience to allow for an immersive ambulatory exploration of the exhibition space and, by extension, his constructed universe. As his subjects and objects glitch through multiple mediums, Gordon occasions a slippage that speaks to the camera’s capability to transform as well as document. View More -
Tina Barney: The Beginning
March 2 – April 22, 2023 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Featuring images largely unseen by the public, the exhibition chronicles a period of technical and artistic development that would lay the foundation for the complex and incisive tableaux that ultimately established Barney as a key figure in international photography. View More -
Leonor Fini: Metamorphosis
January 12 – February 25, 2023 297 Tenth Avenue, New York An exhibition of work spanning seven decades by Argentine-Italian artist Leonor Fini (1907–1996) explores themes of transformation, masquerade, and performance through paintings, sculpture, and works on paper sourced primarily from the artist’s estate. Fini’s deeply personal practice melds coded autobiographical references to her childhood in Trieste, Italy, with those spanning Shakespeare, Greek mythology, Egyptian and medieval history, and opera. The exhibition, which focuses on figurative depictions of subjects from drama, folklore, and dream, is the first solo presentation of work by Fini at Kasmin and will include costume and sculptural works recently exhibited in The Milk of Dreams: The 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.

Somatic Markings
November 3 – December 23, 2022 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Somatic Markings features seven international artists that employ the nude figure to grapple with issues of contemporary corporeal politics. Incorporating feminist, queer, and postcolonial methodologies that are constitutive of the artists’ personal histories, these works disassemble notions of the traditional nude, transforming the figure into a medium for nuanced discussions that develop on and beyond issues of identity or the reclamation of the gaze. The exhibition includes work by Shadi Al-Atallah, Mira Dancy, Miranda Forrester, Elizabeth Glaessner, Anya Kielar, Katherina Olschbaur, and Mark Yang.

Sara Anstis: Procession
September 8 – October 29, 2022 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Kasmin is delighted to present Procession, the first New York solo exhibition of work by London-based artist Sara Anstis. Anstis’s evocative paintings and soft pastels on paper mine art history to render a darkly humorous universe defined by its rich layers of meaning and symbolism, its indeterminate, primarily nocturnal landscapes, and a population of deftly lit figures that seem to hark from the realms of folklore, dream, and mythology.

Lyn Liu: Dogville
June 10 – August 12, 2022 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Comprised of paintings realized between 2019–2022, the exhibition draws from the artist’s personal experiences of alienation, utilizing symbolism and an atmosphere of the absurd to provoke reflections on what Liu considers our oppressive social reality. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition. View More -
Robert Motherwell: Lyric Suite
April 28 – June 4, 2022 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Conceived by Motherwell as an enterprise of free and vigorous drawing, the Lyric Suite series was executed over the course of a few short weeks and consists of identically scaled compositions analogous to an extended series of musical variations. A virtuosic display of Motherwell’s graphic invention, the works possess a significant emotive power and represent a profound meditation on the history of drawing and of mark making itself.

Bringing together works spanning almost 60 years and demonstrating the American artist’s startlingly original vocabulary of forms and techniques, the exhibition will be the first at the gallery dedicated to Metcalf’s practice and is staged in close collaboration with his family. A new essay by the artist's biographer, Roy Skodnick, will be published on the occasion of the exhibition. View More -

Liam Everett: On meeting again
October 21 – November 13, 2021 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Everett’s experiments in the development of a self-sustaining studio practice see him employing a process of steadfast and repetitious application and erasure, using non-traditional methods to apply—and caustic substances to remove—painstakingly developed layers of paint and composition. A catalogue, featuring a conversation with Everett, will be published in tandem with the exhibition. View More -
Matvey Levenstein
September 9 – October 9, 2021 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Kasmin is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Matvey Levenstein.

This is Levenstein’s second solo exhibition at Kasmin. View More -

Curated by Paul B. Franklin November 12 – December 19, 2020 297 Tenth Avenue, New York A carefully orchestrated and highly focused survey, Matisse in Black and White explores Henri Matisse’s ongoing relationship with black and white across a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, drawing, various types of prints (drypoints, monotypes, lithographs, linocuts), and illustrated books. Comprising some twenty-five rigorously selected artworks, the exhibition aims to facilitate what one might term “slow looking,” a fundamental principle that informed and nourished Matisse throughout his long career as an artist.

JB Blunk

Elemental
September 26 – November 2, 2019 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Kasmin is pleased to announce Elemental, an exhibition comprised of minimalist and post-minimalist painting and sculpture that lays bare the foundational components of these consecutive 20th-century movements. Spanning 1963–1981, each work in the exhibition demonstrates a conceptually robust reduction of both form and content, drawing renewed attention to the nuances of the artistic process, the visceral potential of materials, and the organizational structure of a composition. By way of geometric abstraction, singular motifs, monochromatic palettes and the embracing of repetition, this seminal group of artists eschewed the gestural individualism of mid-century Abstract Expressionism and paved the way for a new understanding of art-making.

Painters of the East End
July 11 – August 16, 2019 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Kasmin is pleased to announce Painters of the East End, on view at 297 Tenth Avenue between July 11 – August 16, 2019.

Jan-Ole Schiemann: A Different Pose
March 7 – May 4, 2019 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Kasmin is pleased to present A Different Pose, the gallery’s first solo exhibition of new paintings by Cologne-based artist Jan-Ole Schiemann. Schiemann’s paintings are grounded in both gestural abstraction and the history of 20th-century animation, aspects that combine to imbue his work with a rare sense of kinetic energy. Half-formed, simultaneously disappearing and reappearing shapes suggest that somewhere amidst the lines, there are figures tumbling, colliding, or fighting obscured by clouds of smoke. As a result of Schiemann’s meticulous, layered application of charcoal, oilstick, ink and acrylic, the works have the illusion of both a sculptural and a digital depth. The artist’s first solo exhibition at Kasmin will be comprised of new medium-scale and monumental paintings, as well as the debut of a new series of works on paper. View More -
Andy Warhol: Polaroid Portraits
January 24 – March 2, 2019 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Kasmin is pleased to present an exhibition of Andy Warhol’s polaroid portraits, on view from January 24 - March 2, 2019, at 297 Tenth Avenue, New York.
Beginning in the 1960s, Warhol carried a camera with him almost constantly, obsessively documenting both his personal life and the daily goings on in his studio, The Factory. These images, artworks in their own right, also acted as visual references and formed the basis of many of the artist’s drawings, silkscreens, and paintings. Highlighting the integral contribution of photography to his art-making process, Warhol referred to his Polaroid Big Shot camera (which he purchased in 1970) as his “pencil and paper.” View More -

Lee Krasner: Mural Studies
September 13 – October 27, 2018 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Mural Studies brings together eight of Lee Krasner’s rarely exhibited small-scale, gouache-on-paper studies for an unrealized Works Progress Administration mural painting. Created in 1940 (the same year Krasner produced, in her own words, her “first abstract work”) the gouaches investigate varying configurations of geometric and biomorphic forms alongside linear elements reminiscent of Jean Arp and Joan Miró. Dancing on flat backgrounds and reveling in vivid color, Krasner’s shapes consistently avoid the same designated window and door areas in each composition, suggesting that they were created with a single, now unknown, space in mind.

Elliott Puckette: New Works
April 18 – June 15, 2018 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Elliott Puckette (1967), her eighth solo exhibition at the gallery.

Known for performances, installations and sculpture informed by aspects of music and nightlife, Tsabar focuses on the often hidden elements and materials that are at play in constructing physically immersive environments. Her practice oscillates between visual arts and music with reconfigurations of guitars, strings, amplifiers, microphones, cables, gaffer tape and speakers. When interacted with, these objects offer compositions that are both visual and sonic. View More -

Saint Clair Cemin: Psyche
May 26 – August 19, 2016 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition of Psyche by Saint Clair Cemin, on view from May 26 – August 19, 2016 at 297 Tenth Avenue, New York.
Internationally renowned sculptor Saint Clair Cemin will unveil the ethereal sculpture Psyche, a large-scale marble boat that appears to float atop its bronze cradle. Measuring over 16 feet in length and carved from a single piece of Sichuan marble that began as 30,000 pounds, the work alludes to its namesake Psyche, goddess of the soul, and her true love, Eros. Though the viewer is drawn into antiquity, the sculpture transcends its legendary inspiration as it becomes a fully functional boat, capable of floating on water. View More -
