On the occasion of ‘Thomas J Price. Resilience of Scale’ the artist’s first major exhibition with Hauser & Wirth in New York City, please join us for a walkthrough with artist Thomas J Price and Executive Director of the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, Courtney J. Martin at Hauser & Wirth Wooster Street.

‘Thomas J Price. Resilience of Scale,’ presents five towering bronze figures that amplify traditionally marginalized bodies and redress structures of hierarchy, inviting questions about who we chose to celebrate in art. The exhibition creates an environment where mobility is truly felt allowing viewers to move through the space and engage with the works directly and from all vantage points, positioning themselves within the artist’s narrative rather observing from a detached distance.

This event is free, however, reservations are recommended.

About Thomas J Price 
Thomas J Price’s multidisciplinary practice confronts preconceived attitudes towards representation and identity, foregrounding the intrinsic value of the individual and subverting structures of hierarchy. Celebrated for his large-scale figurative sculptures, Price draws our attention to the psychological embodiment of his fictional characters, highlighting nuanced understandings of social signifiers and predetermined value. Amalgamated from multiple sources, the works are developed through a hybrid approach of traditional sculpting and intuitive digital technology. Price balances methods of presentation, material and scale to challenge our expectations and provide cues for deeper human connection. He encompasses historic constructs with a newness that at first glance can go unnoticed, but that live in the public realm as silent totems for change.
