A New David Hammons Book Will Challenge You, Scold You, Flirt with You

‘David Hammons arrived at my door thick with promise and pages. It is a “post-exhibition catalogue,” per Hauser & Wirth, who released the book about six years after the artist’s 2019 show at the gallery’s Downtown Los Angeles location.’

‘The work is an extension of myself’: Michaela Yearwood-Dan on her debut show at Hauser & Wirth

‘Viewed up close, the paintings appear alive and gloriously textural, replete with thickly drawn waves of paint that make bold foils for glistening materials and snippets of song lyrics, poetry or her own writings, which undulate over the works.’

Oh to Believe in Another World review – Gripping Kentridge and Shostakovich bring Stalin’s age of betrayal to life

‘The brilliance of Kentridge’s film, perfectly in sync with each unnerving crescendo and melancholy trough, is that it makes you see through such quibbles and feel the majesty and pathos of this music from the darkest times of the 20th century.’

Bharti Kher

'I've moved into a place where I think that bodies are containers...even though they're contained and somehow closed, we are all connectors and transmitters. And this is a great source of magic for me, hence the title of the show.'

The Wary Gaze of Amy Sherald

‘[...] Sherald has said, 'I had a career before Michelle Obama.' This is more than evident in her new mid-career survey at the Whitney, 'American Sublime,' an experience in having your breath taken away.’
