This month’s gallery circuit features a series of high-profile solo exhibitions across the United States, headlined by a museum-quality survey of Jasper Johns at Gagosian. The selection highlights diverse artistic approaches, from Johns’s seminal 1970s crosshatch paintings to Yuko Mohri’s kinetic installations at Tanya Bonakdar and Gabriel de la Mora’s material-focused conceptual works at Perrotin. Other notable shows include Christina Quarles’s new paintings at Hauser & Wirth, which explore themes of loss and resilience.
These exhibitions represent a significant moment for the primary market, showcasing both blue-chip masters and rising international stars. The Jasper Johns show is particularly noteworthy as it serves as the final exhibition for Gagosian’s historic flagship space, while Yuko Mohri’s debut follows her acclaimed turn at the Venice Biennale. Collectively, these shows demonstrate the continued vitality of the gallery system in providing scholarly, institutional-grade programming alongside commercial offerings.
