Perrotin is pleased to return to Art Dubai with a special presentation introducing a new series of sculptures by Daniel Arsham that are in direct dialogue with the architecture of the space. Following a decades-long interest in the way objects move through time, Arsham's latest body of work highlights audio and technical equipment from the latter half of the twentieth century. Using a drapery technique that originally stems from antiquity, Arsham suspends each object in time, thus orchestrating a moment of continuous and uninterrupted suspense, turning these objects into sites of memory.
We are also happy to present for the first time in Dubai two works by Gregor Hildebrandt, made with magnetic VHS tape coating, as well as Lee Bae’s latest series Issu du feu (White lines), where the artist resumes his charcoal compositions while giving them a new perspective.
As the booth’s centerpiece, the gallery will present a life size sculpture by Italian artist Paola Pivi, ahead of her two major solo shows this spring at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh and at the High Line in New York.
A large hanging glass sculpture by Jean-Michel Othoniel will also bring to the booth the artist’s special web of unreality, enchantment, and liberation of the imagination. In 2021, Othoniel had a major show The Narcissus Theorem which took over the museum and the garden of the Petit Palais Museum in Paris.
In addition, the gallery will showcase new works by Jean-Philippe Delhomme, Laurent Grasso, JR, Izumi Kato, Johan Creten and Xiyao Wang.
For this edition of Art Dubai, Perrotin Secondary Market will be presenting a selection of works by Peter Halley, Ugo Rondinone, Yoshitomo Nara and Donna Huanca.
While Peter Halley’s works frequently display several bright colours at once, the pink monochrome palette in Untitled (Pink Prison), 2003 emphasises even further the typical texture effects of his canvases. Just as eye-catching, Donna Huanca’s Andesite, 2016 is part of her famous series blending performance and painting. In the same year, Ugo Rondinone made Small Blue Mountain, a smaller iteration of his land-art installations made of fluorescent rocks. Featuring a child-like figure floating in space, Yoshitomo Nara’s Untitled, 1991 is a fine example of the artist’s earlier period marked by references both to Japanese and Western culture.
