Press Release

Marian Goodman Gallery is pleased to announce a forthcoming solo exhibition by Robert Smithson in our Paris space.

Robert Smithson is an artist who recalibrated the possibilities of art. For over fifty years his work and ideas have influenced artists and thinkers, building the ground from which contemporary art has grown. An autodidact, Smithson’s interests in travel, cartography, geology, architectural ruins, prehistory, philosophy, science-fiction, popular culture, and language spiral through his work. He was fascinated by concepts of duality, entropy, and questions of how we might find our place in the world.

About the Gallery

For over forty years, Marian Goodman Gallery has played an important role in helping to establish a vital dialogue among artists and institutions working internationally. Marian Goodman Gallery was founded in New York City in late 1977. In 1995 the Gallery expanded to include an exhibition space in Paris – with an additional exhibition space and bookshop added in 2016 - and in 2014 an exhibition space in London. The London space transitioned to Marian Goodman Projects in 2021, a new initiative to present exhibitions and artist projects in London and other select cities around the world.
