Private view: June 14

Vernissage: June 15

Public days: June 16-19

Further information

For our booth at Art Basel 2016 Thomas Dane gallery will present an exhibition of works exclusively in one medium: paper. Paper has played a central role in artistic investigations throughout history. Due to its versatility paper has become key to many artists’ practices and often provides the space for the most pivotal investigations and has become steeped in the richest historical associations. For this exhibition we have approached many of our artists that often work on paper to produce new, large-scale works specifically for the fair. We will include major pieces from Hurvin Anderson, Cecily Brown, Ella Kruglyanskaya, Michael Landy, Glenn Ligon and Amy Sillman.

We will celebrate our artists for whom working on paper in innovative ways has long been a central trope in their practice and bring together major new works by Arturo Herrera and Abraham Cruzvillegas as well as works literally made 'of' paper by artists less well known for working in this medium: Lynda Benglis, Walead Beshty and Kelley Walker.

We will also include a limited and carefully edited number of works that have informed or influenced our artists who have informed or influenced our gallery artists or whom have partaken in our programme: Bruce Conner, Barbara Rossi and Albert Oehlen.

Thomas Dane Gallery at Frieze New York

Booth: B63

Private view: May 4

Public days: May 5-8

Further information

Our inaugural show at Frieze New York will be the latest collaboration between Thomas Dane Gallery (London) and Corbett Vs. Dempsey (Chicago) who have partnered on booths at Frieze Masters in London for the past four years as well as joint curatorial projects at both galleries.

 For Frieze New York in 2016 the focus is on eccentric figuration. Both galleries share a key interest in the status of the figure in contemporary art, its definition and limits and equally in its historical manifestation in the 20th century, its shadowy existence at the margins during the era dominated by abstraction (with particular attention to the Chicago Imagist tradition), as well as in its current popular revival.

This presentation will spotlight both organisations' programs, with new, and historical works. The booth will include paintings, drawings, collages, and sculptural works by Hurvin Anderson, Margot Bergman, Cecily Brown, Brian Calvin, Dominick Di Meo, Arturo Herrera, Ella Kruglyanskaya, Robert Lostutter, Albert Oehlen, Joyce Pensato, Lari Pittman, Christina Ramberg, Barbara Rossi, Lui Shtini, Amy Sillman, Diane Simpson, Caragh Thuring and Karl Wirsum.

John Gerrard: Western Flag

Channel 4 have announced an important new commission with John Gerrard to be broadcast in April 2016 and appear in large-scale public projections simultaneously at several international locations to be announced. This new project will be a virtual flag made out of perpetually-renewing black smoke that Gerrard will place in a perfect CGI replica of Spindletop, Texas - the birthplace of the modern oil industry. The work will run in cyberspace for a year – exactly parallelling the sunrises, sunsets, lengthening shadows and changing seasons of the real Spindletop – and for one day next spring will break into the Channel 4 schedule in the junctions between programmes - an icon of climate change and modern society’s dependence on oil.
