About the exhibition
For over five decades, pioneering conceptual artist Charles Gaines has used systems to create series of works that mine the complex relationship between perception and meaning. For his first exhibition at Hauser & Wirth’s Paris gallery, Gaines will debut new Plexiglas works from his Numbers and Trees series, first conceived by the artist in 1986. Focusing on acacia trees, the nine compositions are based on photographs the artist shot during a trip to Tanzania in 2023. Gaines will also debut the latest installment from his Manifestos series, developed whilst in residence at the gallery’s Somerset location in 2025.
