GAGOSIAN QUARTERLY – SPRING 2026 PREVIEW

Gagosian Quarterly Spring 2026 | Gagosian Quarterly

Gagosian Quarterly: The Spring 2026 issue features Jeff Koons pays homage to Duchamp’s tremendous generosity. On the occasion of an exhibition of historic works by Jasper Johns, Larry Gagosian reflects on the artist’s crosshatching technique and its impact on audiences past and present. We also trace the evolution of Michael Heizer’s complex negative sculptures and celebrate the fortieth anniversary of Nan Goldin’s The Ballad of Sexual Dependency.

The House on Utopia Parkway: Joseph Cornell’s Studio Re-Created by Wes Anderson

The House on Utopia Parkway: Joseph Cornell’s Studio Re-Created by Wes Anderson is an exhibition conceived by curator Jasper Sharp and the acclaimed American filmmaker. The show brings Cornell’s New York studio to the heart of Paris, transforming Gagosian’s storefront gallery into a meticulously staged tableau—part time capsule, part life-size shadow box—for the first solo presentation of the artist’s work in Paris in more than four decades. In this video, Anderson discusses the genesis of the exhibition and the process by which it came together.

Michael Heizer: Negative Sculpture

Michael Heizer: Negative Sculpture

Across his nearly six-decade career, Michael Heizer has continued to probe the possibilities of sculptural form defined by its absence. His exhibition Negative Sculpture features Convoluted Line A and Convoluted Line B, among the artist’s most complex negative sculptures. Here, we consider a selection of works that have preceded the new sculptures.

Jasper Johns: Between the Clock and the Bed

Jasper Johns: Between the Clock and the Bed

On January 22, Gagosian, in partnership with Castelli Gallery, opened an exhibition of historic works by Jasper Johns at the 980 Madison Avenue gallery in New York. A survey of the crosshatch paintings and drawings that dominated his practice from 1973 to 1983, the presentation united works that have rarely been seen with loans from sources including distinguished American museums. The exhibition commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of this body of work’s debut at Castelli Gallery in 1976. Here, Larry Gagosian speaks with the Quarterly’s Alison McDonald about the impetus for this project, his memories of seeing the exhibition in 1976, and the enduring impact of these paintings on artists and collectors.

Nan Goldin: Another Word for Love

Nan Goldin: Another Word for Love

For the fortieth anniversary of Nan Goldin’s genre-defining photobook The Ballad of Sexual Dependency (Aperture, 1986), Gagosian, London, will be exhibiting all of its 126 photographs, the first time the entire body of work will be shown in the United Kingdom. To celebrate the occasion, David Velasco looks back to the series’ creation and evolution, considering the radical exploration of seeing and love at the core of The Ballad.

The Frick Collection, New York, opened Gainsborough: The Fashion of Portraiture on February 12. The first exhibition devoted to the English artist’s portraiture ever held in New York, the show comprises more than two dozen paintings and explores the role of fashion in Gainsborough’s depictions, in terms both of the sitters’ clothes and of the larger context of class, labor, craft, and time. Aimee Ng, the Frick’s Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator, has been working on the show for a decade; last fall she met with the Quarterly’s Derek C. Blasberg to talk about this historic project.

Regime Change Without Nation Building

Both countries have engaged in painful battles with the regime’s proxies. Both nations battled Iran for 12 days last year; Israel targeted nuclear assets and other key military targets, paving the way for a crescendo of American strikes that hammered Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
