David Gill Gallery
The British gallery bought a signature cast of heavy hitters over to the West Coast this year. With works ranging from Barnaby Barford’s The Seated Bear (2016) to Zaha Hadid’s pioneering ‘Liquid Glacial’ coffee table (2012) and Fredrikson Stallard’s ice-like ‘Antarctica I’ side table (2017), drama lurked around every corner.
David Zwirner
David Zwirner’s A-list artist roster ranged from powerhouses such as Anni Albers, Josef Albers, William Eggleston, Richard Serra, Yayoi Kusama and Wolfgang Tillmans, as well as cult favourites like Carol Bove, Christopher Williams, Josh Smith and hometown hero Ruth Asawa
Edward Cella Art + Architecture
Edward Cella united three visionaries of architecture and urban planning with its presentation this year. Armed with historic drawings and objects by R Buckminster Fuller, Hans Hollein and Paolo Soleri, the gallery’s collection eloquently charted the transformation from post-war and postmodern sensibilities in twentieth-century architecture.
Kurimanzutto
Mexico City’s Kurimanzutto gallery bought a vibrant selection of works including a series of computer embroidery pieces by Damián Ortega; a recent graphic work Orbit’s Trace (2017) from Gabriel Orozco; and a hypnotic new painting, Desert Survivor (2017), by Roman Ondák.
Luhring Augustine
Christopher Wool’s recognisable graphic style was cast in a fresh light, thanks to Luhring Augustine’s presentation of new works on paper and a sculpture by the artist. The paper works combine a range of printmaking techniques, such as silkscreening, etching and hand drawing, while the sculpture that has been cast from concrete evokes a similar gestural fluidity in three-dimensional form.
Paul Kasmin
Paul Kasmin Gallery dedicated its first presentation at FOG to Les Lalanne. Inspired by Yves Saint Laurent’s music room in Paris, for which he commissioned over a dozen of Claude’s bronze mirrors, the works on show ranged in date from 1986 to 2017. This included François-Xavier Lalanne’s 'Gorille Derange' (2007/2010) and Claude Lalanne’s surrealist 'Table aux Serpents' (2017), which have never been exhibited in the USA before this.
R & Company
Interspersed among historic masterworks from Joaquim Tenreiro and Wendell Castle, New York’s R & Company presented the latest sculptural creations from Rogan Gregory, which range from lighting and tables to objects that have been carved from wood, stone, bronze and terrazzo by the artist.
Sadie Coles HQ
London’s Sadie Coles HQ bought three new sculptures by Ugo Rondinone to mark its debut at FOG this year. The brightly-coloured works, all part of Rondinone’s popular ‘Mountain’ series, subtly veer away from the neon tones that defined earlier iterations and embrace a more gentle palette drawn from everyday life.
