compulsively-detailed, meticulously-painted, and emotionally-potent works.

Lee Ufan
Hb 26x28cm 86pp col ills £33.50
Drawing together fourteen paintings from 2016 - 2018, the exhibition debuts most of the works on
view. While the brushstrokes in earlier works from the Dialogue series are the result of several
applications of a monochromatic mineral pigment built up into a substantial single mark, these
new works encompass a broad range of saturated hues. Painted in a highly controlled method,
with brushstrokes that relate to the artist's breath, the works take up to a month or more to
complete, and focus on the resonance of space, colour, light and tension. In the new paintings,
Lee has begun to introduce gestural strokes as well as unaltered expressionistic elements,
including dots and specks of paint. The resulting forms invite the audience to participate in a
conversation with the internal state of the artist, completing the concept of a dialogue, this series'
namesake.

Seeing Picasso
Seeing Picasso: Maker of the Modern focuses on the artist's many innovations and protean
practice. Ceaselessly creating art for over seven decades, Picasso shattered artistic conventions
in the pursuit of revolutionary styles and formal strategies. This exhibition, spanning the late
1890s to the early 1970s, highlights Picasso's key breakthrough moments, which catalysed a
number of artistic movements and styles of the modern era. It showcases over thirty-five
masterpieces in a range of media-paintings, works on paper, sculptures, and ceramics-from each
stage of Picasso's highly prolific career, including his early Blue Period, reinterpretations of
African and Oceanic forms, ground-breaking invention of Cubism, and experimentation with
Surrealism and early Neo-Expressionism. Seeing Picasso: Maker of the Modern reveals that
Picasso-perhaps more than any artist-not only channelled the zeitgeist of the 20th century but
also significantly altered the course of modern art.

David Hockney - La Grande Cour Normandy

In 2019, following his opening at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Hockney began working
at La Grande Cour. He first saw the property on a trip to France after the unveiling of his stained-
glass window at Westminster Abbey in London. Almost immediately, this new environment in
Normandy inspired him to start this series of drawings. Through the use of playful and colourful
marks, each drawing captures the vibrancy of Normandy's landscape during the arrival of spring
and reveals Hockney's personal connection to the land. A large, twenty-four-panel panoramic
drawing, La Grande Cour portrays in great detail its subject: the full grounds of the property, with
its multiple buildings and landscaped with cherry, pear and apple trees, hawthorne thickets and
elderflower patches. Four individual drawings, depicting each side of the 17th century house and
named after the view they display: north, south, east, west, are also featured in the exhibition.

Fred Wilson – Chandeliers

For Wilson's exhibition, Speak of Me as I Am at the Venice Biennale, he investigated the history
of Venice's African population, fully immersing himself in the study of how Africans were depicted
in 17th and 18th century Venetian paintings and decorative arts. Using phrases from
Shakespeare's Othello to title his first as well as most subsequent chandeliers, Wilson created
Speak of Me as I Am: Chandelier Mori in Murano in the traditional Rezzonico style. Made in black
glass, it is the first black chandelier ever to be created in the history of Venetian glassmaking.
Wilson's chandeliers utilize the seductive beauty of Venetian craftsmanship while simultaneously
subverting assumptions of a homogenous European culture.

Tony Smith - Source, Tau, Throwback

Encompassing three works-Tau (1961-62), Source (1967), and Throwback (1976-77)-the

exhibition touches on key moments in the artist's evolving sculptural practice. Shaped by his
training and prior career as an architect, Smith's work is animated by a dynamic concept of space
and a commitment to sculpture as an object to be catalysed by the direct engagement of the
human body.

Loie Hollowell - Plumb Line

Pb 23x28cm 198pp col ills £46
Central to Hollowell's practice is her inquisitive approach to the human form and her ability to
compose otherworldly landscapes that challenge the perception of space. Interested in
Transcendental and Tantric painting, Hollowell creates work that is meditative in both process
and form. Akin to artists like Hilma af Klint, Agnes Pelton and Tantric painter Gulam Rasool
Santosh, whose works embrace the conventions of modernist painting and abstraction to
visualize transcendental experience, Hollowell's paintings also implore a spiritual energy.
Through the use of symmetry, color and abstract iconography, Hollowell maps a cartography of
psychic space, depicting the essence of the female form unapologetically, sensually and openly.

Calder - Small Sphere and Heavy Sphere

Working in close collaboration with the Calder Foundation, New York, Pace presents
approximately seventy works, spanning the 1920s to the 1960s, that delineate the history of the
mobile as it has never been shown before. Organized chronologically, the exhibition examines
defining moments in Calder's oeuvre, from his gestural animal sketches of 1925 and three-
dimensional wire sculptures made in the late 1920s, to his abstract oil paintings of October 1930
and the first truly kinetic sculptures created in the early 1930s. The exhibition takes its name from
Calder's first hanging mobile, Small Sphere and Heavy Sphere (1932/33), installed among key
examples of the medium from the ensuing decades.
