Lehmann Maupin announces its new seasonal space in Milan, opening April 12, timed to the opening of both Miart and Salone del Mobile, and ahead of the 60th Venice Biennale Foreigners Everywhere, which will include gallery artist Kim Yun Shin. This space marks the gallery’s first physical location in Italy and follows the success of recent pop-ups in Aspen, Palm Beach, Taipei, and Beijing.
Lehmann Maupin Milan will be housed at Circolo, a non-profit organization spearheaded by Nicole Saikalis Bay, located on 48 Via della Spiga, near Giardini Indro Montanelli. The exhibition will be on view through June 21, with a group presentation featuring gallery artists Hernan Bas, Loriel Beltrán, Mandy El- Sayegh, Todd Gray, Alex Prager, and Nari Ward. Nearby, Ward’s retrospective exhibition is on view at Pirelli HangarBicocca through July 28, 2024.
The space will feature a group exhibition of new works by international artists from our program. Highlights include: a room-sized presentation of new works by Nari Ward; a new painting by Miami-based artist Hernan Bas, whose solo exhibition is currently on view at The Bass Museum, Miami; new works by Mandy El-Sayegh, who recently published her first monograph in partnership with Black Dog Publishers; new works by Loriel Beltrán, Billy Childish, and Alex Prager; plus works from new series by Catherine Opie and Todd Gray, who completed residencies at the American Academy in Rome in 2021 and 2023, respectively.
In addition to the new pop-up space, Lehmann Maupin celebrates its artists’ activity across Italy, including: Nari Ward’s retrospective exhibition at Pirelli HangarBicocca, Milan; and Kim Yun Shin’s participation in Foreigners Everywhere, the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia curated by Adriano Pedrosa.
