Press Release

White Cube presents an exhibition of works by American artist David Hammons (b.1943) and the late Greek-Italian artist Jannis Kounellis (1936–2017), marking the first two-person exhibition of their work in over 30 years. The presentation revisits a significant moment in the artists’ practices, when they met and exhibited together in the early 1990s at the American Academy in Rome. Celebrating their friendship and a shared material intelligence, the presentation brings together key works made by the artists from the 1950s on.
