A previously unseen series of large paintings by renowned LA artist Ed Ruscha will go on display at Gagosian Gallery, Grosvenor Hill, from 5 October 2016. In the paintings that comprise Extremes and In-betweens, all completed in 2016, Ruscha sets in motion a dynamic interplay of words and their meanings in ascending and descending shifts of scale and tone.
Gagosian Gallery, Britannia Street, will present three new large-scale steel sculptures by Richard Serra – NJ-2, Rounds: Equal Weight, Unequal Measure and Rotate – which will go on public display for the first time from 1 October 2016. Fifteen new drawings by Serra are currently on display in the accompanying exhibition, Composite Drawings, at Gagosian’s Davies Street gallery. This dual exhibition of new sculptures and drawings follows Serra’s recent critically acclaimed exhibitions at Gagosian’s New York galleries.
