Ken Price Exhibition
Matthew Marks Gallery 522 W 22nd St.
This event has ended.
In the main gallery, Price will show three large-scale sculptures that continue the expansion of his practice into more monumental sizes, which he began working on shortly after his last exhibition at the gallery in 2006, in which he debuted his first large-scale piece.
Three additional galleries will be installed with nine smaller sculptures. All of the works, large and small, have meticulously hand-finished surfaces, slowly built up over time with as many as twenty layers of paint, which are then sanded to a satin polish.
The rich colors and painstakingly worked surfaces of Ken Price's sculptures have always been integral to his spectacular and inventive forms. In the newest pieces, the sensual shapes seem more alive then ever as they twist up and around or suggestively slump against one another.
