Press Release

Gagosian is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Jordan Wolfson at 555 West 24th Street in New York. This is the artist’s first exhibition with the gallery in New York.

A selection of new uniformly scaled sculptures incorporates emblematic color and black-and-white photographs, sourced online and from personal and academic archives, that resonate with art history, popular culture, and Wolfson’s own preoccupations.

A conversation between the artist and novelist Ottessa Moshfegh will appear in the Fall issue of Gagosian Quarterly.

About the Artist

Jordan Wolfson (b. 1980, New York) is an American artist known for disturbing, technically sophisticated works that fuse animatronic sculpture, video, and virtual reality to probe violence, desire, and the ethics of looking. Working between Los Angeles, New York, and Europe, he has become one of the most closely watched artists of his generation for a series of highly mediated installations that confront viewers with grotesque spectacle and their own complicity. Signature works such as (Female Figure) (2014), Colored Sculpture (2016), and the virtual reality piece Real Violence (2017) have been widely discussed and protested in equal measure. Wolfson’s work has been presented at institutions including the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Broad, Fondation Beyeler, the National Gallery of Australia, and the Brant Foundation, cementing his profile in both museum and market contexts.
