Gladstone Gallery has announced its representation of the estate of the late performance and conceptual artist Pope.L. The gallery will present its first solo exhibition of his work in New York in 2027, joining existing representatives Modern Art in London and Vielmetter Los Angeles in stewarding his legacy.
This representation signals a major institutional commitment to preserving and promoting the work of a highly influential artist. Pope.L's boundary-pushing practice, which critically examined race, labor, and American society through iconic performances like his 'Crawls' and the flag piece 'Trinket,' has gained significant posthumous recognition. Gladstone's role ensures his challenging and vital contributions to contemporary art continue to reach new audiences and influence future generations.
