Art Basel OVR:
Miami Beach
Vielmetter Los Angeles is pleased to participate in 'OVR: Miami Beach' featuring artworks by Math Bass, Whitney Bedford, Ellen Berkenblit, Andrea Bowers, Nicole Eisenman, Louise Fishman, Genevieve Gaignard, Karl Haendel, Hayv Kahraman, Raffi Kalenderian, Hugo McCloud, Rodney McMillian, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Arlene Shechet, Amy Sillman, Patrick Wilson, Gabriel Slavitt, and Kennedy Yanko.
Highlights include a suite of new photographs by Genevieve Gaignard, entitled "Model Citizen," originally commissioned by Vogue Italia on the occasion of their 2019 September issue. The series depicts Gaignard in Gucci regalia, shot in Los Angeles, and exudes a cinematic atmosphere through which Gaignard inserts herself as an atypical model, rebelling against beauty standards. Extending Gaignard's signature style of self-portraiture, the artist appears as various anonymous characters with visual details amplifying the intricate textures and colors of Gaignard's distinct curated imagery.
The booth also features a timelessly supernatural landscape by Whitney Bedford, from the artist’s ongoing Veduta series, as well as new sculptural works comprised of supple paint skins and found metal by Kennedy Yanko, along with works on paper by Andrea Bowers, Nicole Eisenman, Amy Sillman, and recently completed paintings by Math Bass, Louise Fishman, Hayv Kahraman, Raffi Kalenderian, and Patrick Wilson.
In addition to the online presentation, some of these artworks will be on view at the gallery in Los Angeles for our California-based audience.
