Pace Gallery in New York presents Antoni Tàpies: Transmaterial

Pace presents an exhibition of work by Antoni Tàpies, who made an indelible mark on the history of art in postwar Europe, North America, and Asia. The presentation, titled Antoni Tàpies: Transmaterial, takes place on the eve of the centenary of the Catalan Spanish artist’s birth. It will showcase some 20 paintings created by Tàpies between the 1990s and early 2000s—Pace has represented the artist for 30 years, and almost all the works in this show were created after Tàpies joined the gallery. Marking the first exhibition dedicated to the artist to be staged at Pace’s New York gallery since 2015, the presentation spotlights Tàpies’s meditative approach to art making, shedding light on the later years of his life and career. The exhibition is curated by Natasha Hébert, the artist’s daughter-in-law.

In Titaua Peu’s Pina (translated by Jeffrey Zuckerman), outside forces bear down relentlessly on an already troubled Tahitian family, while in Namwali Serpell’s The Furrows and Muriel Villanueva’s The Left Parenthesis (translated by Megan Berkobien and María Cristina Hall) the memory of loss and grief continue to shadow and complicate the present. The talk will be moderated by Moderated by Anderson Tepper, co-chair of the Brooklyn Book Festival’s International Committee.
