Join us for openings and events throughout the week:

At the Crossroads of artistic insight and intellectual curiosity, we find The Edge of Reason—a new limited podcast produced in partnership with Atlantic Re:think. Hosted by Jeff Chang, gallery artists including Allison Katz, Nicolas Party, Christina Quarles, Thomas J Price, Pipilotti Rist, Lorna Simpson sit down to discuss the centuries-old enlightenment principles that inspire their work.

The 2023 edition of Baur au Lac’s annual ‘Art in the Park XXI’ will feature a collection of new and recent works by multidisciplinary artist, Thomas J Price, on view 12 June through 16 July 2023. Price has rapidly become one of the most important British contemporary sculptors of his generation, prompting us to question who society deems worthy of a monument and how we collectively occupy space. Price intentionally chooses not to portray specific individuals but instead presents imaginary, constructed characters, amalgamated from multiple sources through intuitive digital technology. Despite their scale, the figures appear unassuming and instantly recognizable, dismantling power structures propagated by traditional sculpture.

Announcing ‘Art for Better,’ an online auction with important works donated by gallery artists to raise funds for the humanitarian aid programs of UNHCR. Bidding will open 6 December and run through 13 December, with 100 percent of proceeds going to support life-saving assistance to victims of global refugee crises that have displaced millions.

Thomas J Price has rapidly become one of the most important British contemporary sculptors of his generation, subverting stereotypical representations of figures we value in society and traditional power structures. After studying at Chelsea College of Art, he completed his MA at the Royal College of Art in 2006 and began further interrogating the language of monumentalism to question the status inherent in public sculptures.

Much of his work engages ideas of representation and perception, challenging existing historical narratives and reappropriating power. Price has exhibited widely in the UK and internationally, including solo exhibitions at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Bretton (2014), National Portrait Gallery, London (2016) and The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, Toronto (2019). This July he will take up post as artist-in-residence at Hauser & Wirth Somerset ahead of his inaugural solo exhibition with the gallery in October 2021.
