Larry Gagosian and Peter Doig to collaborate on a new exhibition.
From Artsy
Scottish painter Peter Doig is collaborating with mega-dealer Larry Gagosian to curate an upcoming exhibition at Gagosian’s 980 Madison Avenue location in New York. This new project follows Doig’s departure from Michael Werner Gallery, which represented him for more than two decades, in 2023.
The exhibition, titled “The Street,” will open on November 1st and run until December 18th. Doig was inspired by Balthus’s 1933 painting of the same name, curating a selection of works that explore themes of urban life, labor, and architecture. The titular Balthus work, on loan from the Museum of Modern Art, will be included, along with works by Francis Bacon, Mark Rothko, Giorgio de Chirico, Max Beckmann, Vija Celmins, Denzil Forrester, and many others. The exhibition will also feature new works by Doig himself, and be accompanied by a catalog.
