Press Release

Lehmann Maupin returns to Palm Beach with a seasonal exhibition space at a new location opening November 23 and running through April 2022. This space, which marks the gallery’s second location in Palm Beach since 2020, follows the success of pop-ups in Aspen, Taipei, and most recently, Beijing. Lehmann Maupin Palm Beach will be centrally located at 247 Worth Avenue, in close proximity to the Norton Museum of Art and The Bunker Artspace.

‘The arts community in Palm Beach has been incredibly supportive, which made it an easy decision to return this year,’ says David Maupin. ‘We’ve seen Palm Beach grow into a staple arts destination, attracting world-renowned collectors, curators, and fellow galleries. This winter, we are presenting the range of our global program with four solo exhibitions featuring Do Ho Suh, Erwin Wurm, OSGEMEOS, and Mandy El-Sayegh.’

The gallery will inaugurate its latest location on November 23 with a solo presentation of Do Ho Suh’s new sculptural fabric works, which continue his exploration of the often precarious idea of home in a global society. Made of polyester fabric, Suh’s Specimen series features one to one replicas of domestic objects, such as handles and switches, from the artist’s past and current living spaces and studios. Each form is meticulously measured and modelled, while the transparency of the fabric invites reflection on the notion of memory and psychic space. As the artist explains with regards to our post-COVID reality, ‘our relationship with quotidian objects within the home–the handles, switches and sockets that punctuate the anatomy of our buildings and that we touch all the time–has become fraught, but we’ve also become intensely familiarised with those forms and spaces.’

About the Artist

Do Ho Suh (b. 1962, Seoul, Korea; lives and works in London, New York and Seoul) works across various media, creating drawings, film, and sculptural works that confront questions of home, physical space, displacement, memory, individuality, and collectivity. Suh is best known for his fabric sculptures that reconstruct to scale his former homes in Korea, Rhode Island, Berlin, London, and New York. Suh is interested in the malleability of space in both its physical and metaphorical forms, and examines how the body relates to, inhabits, and interacts with that space. He is particularly interested in domestic space and the way the concept of home can be articulated through architecture that has a specific location, form, and history. For Suh, the spaces we inhabit also contain psychological energy, and in his work he makes visible those markers of memories, personal experiences, and a sense of security, regardless of geographic location.
