Rudolf Stingel: A Trace
Jessica Beck surveys the career of Rudolf Stingel, noting his sustained engagements with painting, environment, and memory.
In these works I’m leaving rigorous conceptual process behind and allowing myself to paint.
—Rudolf Stingel
Gagosian is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Rudolf Stingel, opening at the Grosvenor Hill gallery on June 12, 2025. The works on view mark the inaugural presentation of the artist’s 2024 series, Vineyard Paintings.
Stingel has spent his career in pursuit of exposing the mechanisms of painting, challenging its boundaries and conventions and confronting the notion of its obsolescence. In a new and enchanting body of work, he turns to the roots of abstraction and its mimetic relationship to nature. These paintings negotiate the threshold between nature and the studio and are imbued with poetic references to time, memory, and sensation.
