    About the shows

    'Jack Whitten. I AM THE OBJECT'

    On the first floor are rarely seen works made by Jack Whitten in the years from 1991 and 2000, a period of intense experimentation during which he strove to channel and translate the effects of tumultuous world events. Blurring the boundaries between sculpture and painting, the multidimensional works on view combine geometric abstraction and found objects to mine spiritual and metaphysical thematic veins.

    Among works on view are examples from Whitten’s Totem and Mask series of paintings, powerful elegiac works inspired by contemporary events that held deep significance for the artist. These commemorative works reveal Whitten’s ongoing fascination with African sculpture and his use of unconventional materials – acrylic, recycled glass, plywood and eggshells – in intricate, mosaic-like compositions.

    'George Condo. Internal Riot'

    ‘Internal Riot’ is an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by George Condo. Made during the quarantine period, these works reflect the unsettling experience of physical distance and the absence of human contact during this prolonged time of social isolation. The pandemic has forced Condo to take his portraiture practice to a new level, with invented characters captured in an abstract web that reveals the humanity inherent in their fractured psychological states.

    In this new body of work, Condo’s figures grapple with the overwhelming uncertainty and dissonant emotions that are being felt across the globe. The portraits reflect a range of emotions occurring simultaneously within us. The subjects depicted are devoid of connection to one another in a state where, according to the artist, ‘we are dealing with opposing forces and the elasticity of time.’

    Earlier this spring Hauser & Wirth presented the online exhibition ‘Drawings for Distanced Figures.’ This new body of work which forms ‘Internal Riot’ continues to provide a powerful commentary on the divisive world we live in today.
