Some might call Henrik Vibskov a jack-of-all-trades, and it is true that Vibskov shows his innovative fashion designs in Paris, exhibits his artwork at established institutions such as PS1, MoMA, the Palais de Tokio and MU, and makes musical collaborations with the likes of Anders Trentemøller and Mikael Simpson. However for Vibskov, these seemingly different creative realms are not separate – it is intrinsic to his philosophy that they blend together, resulting in an all-inclusive Henrik Vibskov experience.
In Henrik Vibskov: Graphic Works, Vibskov presents a selection of his two-dimensional pieces, exhibited alongside installation and knit-works. With colorful and organic shapes that seem like strange, animated beings, Vibskov’s minimalistic “form-language” and “anarchistic lines” offer a glimpse at his own imagined universe.

Following the first known self-portrait by Jan van Eyck, in 1433, to Durer’s self promotional works and the haunting self-portraits of Rembrandt, art history has since been full of the subjective gaze of the artist upon themselves. Today the practice continues, often for very widely differing conceptual reasons, but the telling self study still hints at mortality as well as exploring that strange meeting point where the introspective self gaze meets the objective outward look and attunes itself in order to displace the subjective/objective dichotomy.

Gagosian Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of works on paper by Philip Taaffe, the first dedicated exclusively to his graphic work. Taaffe’s elaborate images are the slow product of wide-ranging meditations on the interrelation of generic forms and images in art, nature, architecture, and archaeology, filtered through a critical and dynamic relation to the history of abstract painting, both Occidental and Oriental.

Get What You Want will be the first one-man exhibition in the United States for Andy Burgess. The exhibition will focus on jazzy
paintings and the small-scale collages they are fueled by. Burgess is a Tucson and London based artist who is an avid collector
of graphic ephemera from the “golden age” of American graphic design.
Andy Burgess embraces the notion of nostalgia in all he creates. His influences are varied, yet Burgess brings them together
seamlessly – the freedom and experimentation of the American beat poets and pop artists getting harnessed by the hard line
geometries and color theories of early constructivist and Bauhaus artists and thinkers. Get What You Want is the fabric of
everyday Americana channeled through long standing European traditions. The resulting works are truly timeless.
Exhibition runs from January 23rd to February 21st, 2010
