Vija Celmins & Robert Gober
Matthew Marks is pleased to announce Vija Celmins / Robert Gober, the next exhibition in his galleries at 1062 North Orange Grove and 7818 Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles. The exhibition brings together a selection of paintings, sculpture, and works on paper by these two celebrated artists.
Vija Celmins’s painting Porsche (1966–67) is based on a photograph she took while driving on the freeway in Los Angeles. It will be shown along with two of her more recent paintings of the night sky, as well as one of her blackboard tablets, in which she meticulously recreates an everyday object by hand.
Robert Gober’s Untitled (functioning sink) (1992) is a cast bronze sculpture of a sink with water continually running from its taps. Also included will be a new sculpture by Gober completed earlier this year and exhibited here for the first time.
