George Condo’s forthcoming two-part exhibition — opening at Sprüth Magers and Hauser & Wirth in New York City —exclusively offers a glimpse into the artist’s creative process and limitless inventive drive in the medium of pastel on paper. Both galleries will present new works in which Condo pushes the limits of improvisation—spontaneously employing gesso, fields of color, and gestural pastel without any preparatory sketches––to delve deep into the challenges of expressing various states of the human psyche. Condo relies upon abstraction to reflect the fragmented, elusive nature of thought and feeling.
The New York-based artist has been associated with Sprüth Magers for over three decades, having mounted one of the first solo exhibitions of his career at Galerie Monika Sprüth in 1984.
