At the Fairs
At Frieze London (Booth D14), Gagosian showcases Lauren Halsey, whose monumental works celebrate the visual language and community spirit of South Central Los Angeles through signage, color, and wordplay.
At Frieze Masters (Booth D9), the gallery’s presentation in the Studio section focuses on Glenn Brown, spanning three decades of his career and featuring new paintings, drawings, and sculpture alongside historic works from the Brown Collection.

Gagosian’s presentation at Art Basel Paris extends into its nearby gallery space, bringing together major works by modern and contemporary masters alongside new pieces by gallery artists. The twofold display underscores the continuity and vitality of artistic dialogue across generations.

Tyler Mitchell – Wish This Was Real

Tyler Mitchell’s first solo exhibition in France explores the themes that define his practice: self-determination, youth, and the extraordinary beauty embedded in everyday Black life. Through his luminous and dreamlike images, Mitchell reframes the language of contemporary portraiture.
An Autumn of Conversations Across Cities
With major exhibitions, art fair presentations, and museum collaborations, Gagosian’s autumn program in London and Paris reaffirms its position as a global stage for contemporary art. From Wool’s expansive abstraction to De Maria’s meditative precision, and from Ruscha’s linguistic poetics to Oehlen’s painterly rebellion, this season celebrates both continuity and reinvention—a testament to the enduring power of art to bridge space, time, and imagination.
