Gagosian Gallery presents worldwide representation of John Chamberlain
with an exhibition of new sculptures by the artist, to be presented
concurrently at the 24th Street gallery in New York and the Britannia
Street gallery in London.
The show is on view from May 5 through July 8, 2011, according to artdaily.
Chamberlain is best known for his distinctive metal sculptures
constructed from discarded automobile-body parts and other modern
industrial detritus, which he began making in the late 1950s. His
singular method of putting these elements together led to his
inclusion in the paradigmatic exhibition `The Art of Assemblage,' at
the Museum of Modern Art in 1961, where his work was shown alongside
modern masters such as Marcel Duchamp and Pablo Picasso.
John Chamberlain was born in Rochester, Indiana. He attended the Art
Institute of Chicago (1951-1952) and Black Mountain College
(1955-1956) and moved to New York in 1956. His work is represented in
many major public collections including Chinati Foundation, Marfa,
Texas; Menil Collection, Houston; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New
York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Museum Ludwig,
Cologne; and Tate Modern, London. He had his first retrospective at
the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, in 1971, followed by more
than one hundred one-person exhibitions, including Dia Art Foundation
(1983); Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (1986); Staatlich
Kunsthalle Baden-Baden (1991); Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (1996);
Chinati Foundation, Marfa, Texas (2005-2006); and Menil Collection,
Houston (2009). His work has been included in numerous international
survey exhibitions, including Bienal de São Paulo (1961, 1994),
Biennale di Venezia (1964), Whitney Biennial (1973, 1987), and
Documenta 7 (1982).
