Maison Ancart
Novelist Francine Prose visited Harold Ancart’s Brooklyn studio this past spring. Here, she reports on the paintings she encountered there and ponders the medium’s power to take us outside of ourselves.
The night is a unifying force. It is when children dream and prisoners escape.
—Harold Ancart
Gagosian is pleased to announce 좋은 밤 Good Night, an exhibition of new paintings by Harold Ancart. The opening takes place on April 3, 2025, at APMA (Amorepacific Museum of Art) Cabinet, a project space in the headquarters of Amorepacific.
Ancart’s paintings portray the natural world and built environments. Alluding to a range of art historical sources and often characterized by abstract passages of color, his most recent works aim to develop a connection between the landscape and the inner self.
The works on view concentrate on nocturnal scenes. In two of the canvases, bodies of water are framed by dark skies and rock formations. Two further compositions are arrangements of trees and other plants, while the titular work returns the viewer to a constructed environment.

about this exhibition

Novelist Francine Prose visited Harold Ancart’s Brooklyn studio this past spring. Here, she reports on the paintings she encountered there and ponders the medium’s power to take us outside of ourselves.

The Summer 2023 issue of Gagosian Quarterly is now available, featuring Richard Avedon’s Marilyn Monroe, actor, New York, May 6, 1957 on its cover.

Harold Ancart speaks with novelist Andrew Winer about being present, finding freedom in tension, and pathological escapism.
