“I used to lie down on my back when I was in Arizona and you could see the zillion of stars and the vault of what you see up there… You find these spaces [between the stars] that keep you thinking, “Is that the deepest part? Is this where I go all the way?” - Doug Wheeler, from the monograph Doug Wheeler

Coinciding with Wheeler’s fourth solo exhibition in New York comes the publication of the first major monograph devoted to the artist’s work. This volume, many years in the making, traces the entire course of Wheeler’s career to date, from his first mature paintings to his immersive installations, featuring never before published images, drawings, and archival material.

Today we’re enjoying ‘Lolita's House’, a limited-edition zine published on the occasion of Rose Wylie’s exhibition at our London gallery.

Loosely referencing a house that was constructed in the 1970s across the street from Wylie’s residence in Kent, and the neighbor’s teenage daughter who would often wash their car in the driveway, Lolita’s House continues the artist’s fascination with the shifting nature of memory and the wide-ranging external associations that become attached to it over time.

'Venus & Adonis'

In honor of Valentine’s Day, a preview of a new title from David Zwirner Books: ‘Venus & Adonis.’ __ At once comic, tragic, and erotic, ‘Venus & Adonis’ is a poem by William Shakespeare based on passages from Ovid’s ‘Metamorphoses.’ . This new translation by Hafid Bouazza of Shakespeare’s text with illustrations by Marlene Dumas. . The cover features an eponymous ink wash illustration, which Dumas first made to accompany the poem and later inspired a body of works exploring issues of eroticism, as well as power and violence. In an interview with @nytimes, Dumas noted that these works--shown at David Zwirner New York in 2018--all have something to do with “attraction, sensuality and desires.”
