Inside, Jessica Beck discusses Andy Warhol’s Mao series, contextualizing Warhol’s return to painting in the early 1970s and his attraction to subjects of notoriety. We dig into the archives to honor the inimitable Richard Serra, who had over forty exhibitions at Gagosian since his first in 1983. Elsewhere in the issue, Salomé Gómez-Upegui examines the work of artists confronting the climate crisis, and Péjú Oshin speaks with Jayden Ali about his expansive view of architecture.

The third installment of the Quarterly’s “Gagosian&” series complements Social Abstraction, a two-part exhibition in Beverly Hills and Hong Kong curated by Antwaun Sargent. The supplement includes conversations between participating artists Alteronce Gumby and Amanda Williams, Kahlil Robert Irving and Cameron Welch, and Kevin Beasley and Rick Lowe; features on the work of Kyle Abraham, Allana Clarke, Lauren Halsey, and Devin B. Johnson; and a portfolio of Cy Gavin’s paintings. This intergenerational group of artists employs abstraction through various mediums to illuminate Black social realities.

Readers will also find Francine Prose on Harold Ancart’s new paintings, Derek C. Blasberg’s “Fashion & Art” interview with Grace Coddington, Spencer Sweeney in conversation with Lizzi Bougatsos, and Raymond Foye’s profile of the record label Dust-to-Digital.
