michael armitage david zwirner new york gallery review

Michael Armitage's solo exhibition "Crucible" at David Zwirner's new Annabelle Selldorf-designed gallery in New York features paintings centered on migration, including the work *Path* (2024), inspired by a 2015 Vice News story about an Eritrean teenager's harrowing journey to Europe. The show also includes *Raft (ii)* (2024), a blurry homage to Théodore Géricault's *Raft of the Medusa*, and new sculptures that resemble wood carvings. The gallery itself, a single-story 18,000-square-foot space, opened after a larger planned venue fell through due to financial headwinds during Covid.

David Zwirner Gallery is opening a new 18,000 sq. ft flagship in New York with a solo exhibition by Michael Armitage, his first at a Zwirner location since signing in March 2022. The three-year gap was intentional, aligning with the gallery's expansion and Armitage's other projects.
