Press Release

David Zwirner is pleased to participate in TEFAF New York 2026 with a solo presentation of work by American artist Robert Ryman (1930–2019). Previous solo exhibitions of Ryman’s work have been held at the gallery’s locations in Hong Kong (2025), London (2023–2024), and New York (2023–2024 and 2022).

About the Artist

Robert Ryman (1930–2019) was born in Nashville, Tennessee. Between 1948 and 1950, he studied at the Tennessee Polytechnic Institute, Cookeville, and the George Peabody College for Teachers, Nashville. After two years in the Army Reserve Corps, Ryman moved to New York in 1953 to pursue a career as a professional jazz musician. That same year, he took a job as a security guard at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, where he would work for seven years. His time working at the museum in part inspired Ryman to devote his life to painting.
