Giuseppe Penone Debuts Bronze Sculptures at Gagosian New York
At 555 West 24th Street, Gagosian unveils 'The Reflection of Bronze,' showcasing new bronze sculptures by Giuseppe Penone. This exhibition represents the artist's inaugural showcase with the gallery in New York and features two significant new series. Curated by Adam D. Weinberg, the former director of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the display extends Penone's tree studies from the late 1960s, transitioning from carved wood to lasting metal creations. As a prominent figure in the Arte Povera movement, Penone continually investigates the connection between humanity and the natural world through a variety of materials.
