Art Basel: Basel 2023 | Booth B8
Peter Freeman, Inc. is pleased to participate in the 2023 edition of Art Basel with a selection of new and historical artworks. Highlights from gallery artists include works on paper by Silvia Bächli, ceramic sculptures—one figural, one organic—by Thomas Schütte, and vibrantly colored paintings by Mel Bochner, Matt Mullican, and Catherine Murphy.
Rare, early drawings by Donald Judd hang near a pair of his wall mounted Meter Boxes. Other historic highlights include two representations of skulls—Gerhard Richter’s 1983 Schädel, abstrakt and Meret Oppenheim’s 1964 x-ray self-portrait—which investigate themes of memory and self-portraiture.
Dove Allouche’s unique set of nine gelatin silver prints, arranged in a gradation of gray values, extends a conversation on the modernist grid—a format also adopted by Bernd and Hilla Becher, represented here with Blast Furnaces, a set of 15 black-and-white photographs systematically documenting industrial structures. Geometric forms and grids reoccur throughout the booth: Fernanda Gomes’s paint and wood wall sculpture; Jan Dibbets’s 1969 durational photographs of the shadows in his studio; Charles LeDray’s A Course of Empire Bricks, a riff on Carl Andre’s 1986 stack of found unstable Empire bricks; and a 1963 painting by the late Croatian artist Julije Knifer, who consistently depicted a meander.
Other artists featured include Marcel Broodthaers, Robert Filliou, Lucy Skaer, Luc Tuymans, and Franz Erhard Walther.
