Gagosian is pleased to present rarely seen sculptures by John Chamberlain. Following the New York showings of 'New Sculpture' at Gagosian in 2011, as well as 'Choices', his 2012 retrospective at the Guggenheim, this exhibition highlights a series of steel masks, the majority of which are on view for the first time since their creation in the 1990s, as well as abstract wall sculptures made between the 1970s and 2000s. Best known during his lifetime for his distinctive metal sculptures, often made of crushed and torqued automobile steel, Chamberlain used the detritus of American industry to create works that contain the bold energy of Abstract Expressionism, the pre-manufactured elements of Pop and Minimalism, and even the provocative curves and swells of the High Baroque. His multidimensional collages of foam, steel, or aluminum - from large floor sculptures to more intimate, interlocking arrangements - express an unwavering elegance, exuding both the strength and the fragility of everyday materials. Exhibition: Gagosian Madison Avenue, New York, USA (19.9. - 28.10.2017).
