Flavin, Judd, Kawara, LeWitt, Palermo, Ryman, Sandback, Serra.

David Zwirner is pleased to announce a group exhibition of works by Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, On Kawara, Sol LeWitt, Palermo, Robert Ryman, Fred Sandback, and Richard Serra on view at the gallery’s 612 North Western Avenue location in Los Angeles. Featuring key artists from the gallery’s program who were at the avant-garde of the New York art scene of the 1960s and 1970s, this presentation will bring together a selection of abstract and non-representational works that radically reconfigured the possibilities of their mediums in distinct ways. Highly influential to each other as well as their peers in New York and around the world, these artists established minimal, post-minimal, abstract, and conceptual vocabularies whose echoes still permeate the art world today. 

Complementing this presentation will be an exhibition of works by John McCracken, on view concurrently in the gallery’s 616 North Western Avenue space. McCracken’s geometric sculptural forms exemplify the distinctly West Coast take on the art coming out of New York during this period. Meticulously crafted from plywood coated with fiberglass and layers of pigmented polyester resin and taken by hand to a high polish, these works embody McCracken’s long-standing investigation of surface, form, color, and the transcendent potential of minimalist abstraction.
