Joel Shapiro Past Jul 21 – Jul 31, 2022 East Hampton Exhibition Details:Joel ShapiroJul 21 – 31, 2022Galleries:68 Park PlaceEast HamptonConnect: (opens in a new window) @pacegalleryAbove: Joel Shapiro, untitled, 2019-2022 © 2022 Joel Shapiro / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York Pace is pleased to present an exhibition of wall-mounted, free-standing, and suspended sculptures by Joel Shapiro. Foregrounding the artist’s ongoing exploration of the relationships between color, form, scale, and material, the show will be on view from July 21 to 31. The recent works in wood and one in bronze constituting the artist’s upcoming East Hampton presentation expand upon his longstanding experimentation with his chosen materials and continue his preoccupation with sculpture’s capacity to alter one’s sense of space and scale. The way Shapiro’s works engage architecture and landscape has always been of great interest to the artist, and the group of sculptures included in his forthcoming exhibition exemplify his ability to activate the entirety of a gallery and make the viewer aware of their own physicality. Whether suspended from the ceiling, projecting from the wall, or rising from the floor, these works, whose precarious joins underscore their own fragility and lightness, present gravity as an essential aspect of sculpture. Painted in tones that range from subtle to somber to brilliant—and imbued with a sense of spontaneity essential to their construction—these sculptures reflect color’s important role in Shapiro’s esteemed career and his ceaseless engagement with the possibilities of sculptural form.

In his recent investigations of the expressive possibility of form and color in space, the artist suspends painted wooden elements from the ceiling, wall, and floor, exploring the projection of thought into space without the constraint of architecture.Learn More Journal View All Films Joel Shapiro on His Hong Kong Exhibition Jul 11, 2023 Museum Exhibitions "Joel Shapiro: The Bronzes" at Madison MoCA Sep 11, 2018 Museum Exhibitions "Joel Shapiro: Floor Wall Ceiling" at Kunstmuseum Winterthur Jan 10, 2017 Museum Exhibitions Nasher Sculpture Center Presents "Joel Shapiro" May 01, 2016 Overview Featured Works Installation Views About the Artist Journal
