Current Exhibitions

Christian Boltanski

Animitas (Chili)



November 16, 2024 - January 18, 2025
Marian Goodman Gallery is delighted to present the United States premiere of Animitas (Chili), 2014, a video installation by the late French artist Christian Boltanski, who the gallery began working with in 1987. The video notably documents the first incarnation of Boltanski’s Animitas series, which began as a conceptual monument installed in the Atacama Desert in 2014. This original installation featured 800 small bronze bells on individual stems that were arranged to represent the position of the stars on the night of the artist’s birth. The location of Chile was chosen by Boltanski as he originally drew inspiration from the local animitas or “little souls”—small, makeshift altars created to worship the departed along roadsides throughout the country; Boltanski also uses the form to commemorate those killed under the Pinochet regime. As the bells chime with the desert winds, Boltanski envisioned that we could hear “the music of the stars and the voices of the floating souls,” a moving, ancestral soundtrack of lost spirits, which continues to play on in the remote location of Talabre, Chile today.

Bernard Frize

Shadows, Spirits and Clouds



November 16, 2024 - January 18, 2025
Marian Goodman Gallery is pleased to announce "Shadows, Spirits and Clouds," the inaugural solo exhibition for Bernard Frize in our Los Angeles space. For Frize, the basic elements of painting (paint, brush, canvas), alongside its sensual and intellectual pursuits, are sublimated according to a pre-determined methodology, and are ultimately concealed by the process of its making, or as Frize concedes, “the method has disappeared under the conditions of its realization.”

Tribeca Inaugural Exhibition



October 26, 2024 - December 21, 2024
Marian Goodman Gallery is pleased to announce its inaugural exhibition for our Tribeca space. Revitalizing the historic Grosvenor Building in Tribeca's growing arts district, this group exhibition will highlight the intellectual and creative affinities that have defined the Gallery’s program for over 40 years. Featuring a range of new commissions and installations as well as activations, performance, and moving image presentations, this exhibition provides a nuanced, cross-generational overview of artistic practices today and showcases the unique cosmos of artists represented by the Gallery.

Jongsuk Yoon

Yellow May



July 13, 2024 - August 17, 2024
Marian Goodman Gallery Los Angeles is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition of Korean-German artist Jongsuk Yoon in the United States. Born in South Korea in 1965, Yoon relocated to Europe in the early 1990s to study art at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under German conceptual artist Fritz Schwegler. After her studies, she settled in Düsseldorf and focused her practice on drawings and paintings that hover in the space between figuration and abstraction. In works on paper, canvas, as well as directly on walls, Yoon creates charged and dreamlike color field landscapes that reflect her interests in both European and American Modernism and East Asian traditions.

Downbeat features alumni and collaborators of Denniston Hill’s residency program, including Rosa Barba, Pelenakeke Brown, Renee Gladman, Autumn Knight, Zoe Leonard, Joseph Liatela, Emma McNally, Maia Cruz Palileo, Sojourner Truth Parsons, Carlos Reyes, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

Gabriel Orozco



May 12, 2023 - June 24, 2023
Traces of bodies in action and works made in relation to his environment are at the heart of Gabriel Orozco’s practice. For almost two years, Orozco has exhibited Spacetime, an off-schedule exhibition-project tucked away inside a rented, readymade gallery space on the floor below Marian Goodman Gallery at 24 West 57th Street. In physics, space-time is a mathematical model in which space and time meld together to create a fourth dimension. The Spacetime project forges new connections between works that span over thirty years of time and movement. Continuing to experiment with this concept, the new exhibition at Marian Goodman Gallery brings together his long-standing interests in nature, travel, geometry, and science, works forming circular references to one another, bending and looping time onto itself.

Dan Graham

about the space of half an hour



November 2, 2020 - December 23, 2020
Marian Goodman Gallery New York is delighted to announce "about the space of half an hour," a solo exhibition of new work by Julie Mehretu that will open on Monday, November 2nd and be on view through Wednesday, December 23rd, 2020. Comprised of two distinct bodies of work, the first cycle of works was initiated prior to the pandemic, and the second cycle was made during the shutdown, in quarantine in upstate New York at Denniston Hill – an artist collective and residency program founded by Mehretu, Paul Pfeiffer and Lawrence Chua as a site for interdisciplinary creation, interrogation and debate. Mehretu’s new works reimagine abstraction and her language of gestural marks in an epic theater of saturated color. Providing vistas of clarity and opacity, transparency and impenetrability, Mehretu builds her compositions with blurs of light and contour.

Gerhard Richter



February 28, 2020 - April 25, 2020
The exhibition will present new abstract paintings and new drawings from the past three years, as well as a series of ink jet prints from 2012, and overpainted photos from 2008.
