In case you missed Thursday’s opening, here are a few photos from Chinese artist Zhang Xiaogang’s new show at Pace Gallery. Curated by Pace’s Arne Glimcher, the show features Zhang Xiaogang’s first series of painted bronzes, which render in three dimensions the prototypical characters who inhabit his paintings. From the artist’s friends and family to Chuck Close, many attended the artist’s packed opening reception.

Hiroshi Sugimoto At Auctions
Inspired by early 19th century photography and Renaissance paintings, Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto achieves an exquisite range of tones in a body of work that reflects a great love of detail, an exceptional technical ability, and a fascination with the paradox of time.
His gorgeous Caribbean Sea, Jamaica, 1980, is now live for bidding on artnet Auctions.
Also, check out his collaboration with Hermès.

“The mind has the right to establish being wherever it cares to and for as long as it likes,” Dubuffet writes in a letter to his art dealer Arne Glimcher (April 19, 1985). He adds, “There is no intrinsic difference between being and fantasy; being is an attribute that the mind assigns to fantasy.”
