David Zwirner is pleased to present Pearl Lines, an exhibition of new paintings by New York–based artist Walter Price (b. 1989). Price is known for his richly vibrant paintings and drawings, which bypass strict allegiances to representational or abstract modes. His canvases and works on paper not only experiment freely with colour, line, and space but also reveal emphatic shifts in perspective, suggesting scenes and imagery that the artist ultimately leaves for viewers to absorb and contemplate on their own.
This is Price’s first solo exhibition in Asia, and his second with the gallery since he joined David Zwirner in 2024. Price’s work is also included in the 2025–2026 group exhibition MONUMENTS, co-organised and co-presented by The Brick and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and curated by Hamza Walker, Kara Walker, and Bennett Simpson.






Walter Price was born in 1989 in Macon, Georgia, and served in the US Navy for four years before entering art school on the GI Bill. He received a BA from the Art Institute of Washington, Arlington, Virginia, in 2011 and an AA from Middle Georgia College, Cochran, in 2013.
