Art Basel: Basel 2024 | Booth B8
Peter Freeman, Inc. is pleased to participate in the 2024 edition of Art Basel with a presentation that reflects recent developments in the gallery’s program.
Paintings and drawings by Robert Moskowitz, whose first solo show at Peter Freeman, Inc. curated by Zürich-based curator and writer Dieter Schwarz just closed, marks the artist’s debut at the gallery’s Art Basel booth. Moskowitz had a solo show at the Kunsthalle Basel in 1981. Elisabetta Benassi, whose solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome opened last month, is also featured here for the first time following her inaugural gallery show last winter. Slavic artists Julije Knifer and Roman Ondak, who will both have their first solo exhibitions with the gallery in the upcoming season, are represented.
Thomas Schütte, whose forthcoming retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art, New York opens this September, is represented by ceramics including a shelf piece with twelve from a larger group of Ceramic Sketches, 18 of which became models for his monumental Frauen series. Schütte’s works are also currently featured in Made in Cologne, the current group exhibition at the gallery in New York honoring the 40-year history of Niels Dietrich’s ceramics atelier through the presentation of works by 15 artists he has worked with since its founding.
Sculptures by Dan Flavin, who is the subject of a monographic show at the Kunstmuseum Basel now, are installed in conversation with a large-scale drawing by Silvia Bächli, whose work is also concurrently on view nearby in a solo show at the Kunst Museum Winterthur and at the Centro Botín in Spain. An installation of historic works by Austro-German artists Blinky Palermo, Franz Erhard Walther, and Franz West, ranging in date from the 1960s to the 1980s, focuses on the theme of participation, investigating notions of activation versus inactivation.
A selection of works by other gallery artists including Dove Allouche, Mel Bochner, Ernst Caramelle, Robert Filliou, Fernanda Gomes, Charles LeDray, Mangelos, Catherine Murphy, and Matt Mullican are also on view.
