Perrotin is pleased to announce representation of the Nancy Graves Foundation with an exhibition of work by the artist at Perrotin New York, curated by Director Ylinka Barotto. Nancy Graves (b. Pittsfield, MA 1939 - d. New York, 1995) was a prominent twentieth-century American artist who worked across disciplines, including sculpture, painting, drawing, and film. With a specific interest in archaeology, cartography, and natural history, Graves carefully researched and then translated scientific information into an abstract gestural language by reducing sources to their essential forms. The exhibition at Perrotin, titled The Illusion of Motion, explores the trajectory of the artist’s practice over the course of two decades, unfolding chronologically from 1971 until the mid-80s, and including never before seen paintings and little-known archival material.

Perrotin New York is pleased to present a special solo exhibition with Iván Argote, which marks his third show at Perrotin New York and over fifteen years of collaboration. Offering a narrative arc of Argote’s work across almost twenty years, Breathings is realized on the heels of three significant exhibitions: Descanso, the central outdoor installation of the Venice Biennale’s Giardini (2024); Dinosaur, his prestigious award of the High Line Plinth commission (2024–2026); and Air de Jeu, his installation for the Centre Pompidou in Paris, part of the Prix Marcel Duchamp exhibition (2022–2023). These projects encapsulate Argote’s concerns with monuments as markers of power both historical and present, while their concurrence enforces his critical relevance for this moment.

Perrotin is pleased to present Not Quite Tomorrow, GaHee Park’s second solo exhibition in Paris and her sixth with the gallery. In this new series, Park unveils paintings that depict seemingly idyllic scenes disrupted by subtle distortions. Drawing from the timeless tradition of still life, she captures sensual and intimate moments, yet her distinctive use of forced perspective unsettles the tranquility, introducing ambivalence and tension. Through this body of work, Park challenges both form and narrative, suspending her subjects in a surreal collapse of time and space.

“In 2023, for an exhibition entitled ‘À toi de faire ma mignonne’, I took over Picasso museum.

The project Catalogue raisonné de l’inachevé occupied the top floor.

I began by listing all the projects I had completed since the start of my career—taking stock of my professional life.

Then I asked myself: What happens, when life ends, to the ideas that remain dormant—languishing in drawers, boxes…and coffins?

So I decided to inventory and analyze the sketches, the attempts, the abandonments.

To give life to intentions. To finish the unfinished.

However, either there was too much to read on the first three floors or the museum was about to close—but some visitors never made it to the fourth floor.

That’s why I wanted to organize a catch-up session at Perrotin Paris.” Sophie Calle

The gallery is pleased to open its doors with a group show of artists from its roster. This new Paris location will hold several exhibitions that will reflect the great diversity of Perrotin’s artistic program.
