Gagosian's Le Bourget gallery in Paris will present "Walter De Maria: The Singular Experience," opening October 19 and running through April 18. The exhibition includes the artist's final sculpture, *Truck Trilogy* (2011–2017), featuring three vintage Chevrolet Advance Design 3100 pickups polished and fitted with stainless-steel rods, previously shown at Dia Beacon. Curated by Donna De Salvo, the show also features works like *13, 14, 15 Meter Rows* (1985), drawings, films, and archival materials highlighting De Maria's mathematical and musical interests, including his involvement with the Primitives and the Druds.
This exhibition matters because it brings renewed attention to Walter De Maria's legacy, particularly his final major work, in a European context. It coincides with the "Minimal" survey at Paris's Bourse de Commerce, curated by Dia Art Foundation director Jessica Morgan, underscoring De Maria's enduring influence on Minimalist and Land art. The show also reconnects De Maria's practice with Paris, home to his public sculpture *Monument to the Bicentennial of the French Revolution 1789–1989*.
