Stephen Friedman Gallery

For Frieze Los Angeles 2022, Stephen Friedman Gallery presents work by Grenadian-British artist Denzil Forrester. The solo exhibition comprises new paintings that draw on references ranging from his childhood in the West Indies to the dynamic energy of the London reggae and dub nightclub scene in the 1980s.

Stephen Friedman Gallery is pleased to present its first solo exhibition by British artist Sarah Ball. Demonstrating an acute sensitivity to the psyche of her subjects, Ball’s enigmatic portraits explore the way we project images of ourselves to the world. The show is accompanied by a new monograph that spans the last five years of the artist’s practice, featuring essays by Flavia Frigeri (curator, National Portrait Gallery, London) and Philomena Epps (writer).

Stephen Friedman Gallery is pleased to present its first solo exhibition with British artist Holly Hendry. Exploring the idiosyncrasies of the human body, Hendry’s sculptures and installations take formal inspiration from machinery and diagrammatic depictions of anatomy. Expanded casting methods are central to the artist’s process in which she uses an array of materials like steel, Jesmonite, silicone, ash, charcoal, lipstick, chewed gum, soap, foam, marble and grit. Her new work challenges our perception of the neat distinction between our physical bodies, emotions and mechanisation.

Published by Swedish art association SAK, this expansive monograph presents a survey on Andreas Eriksson's work from 1992-2021, incorporating an essay by Sara Walker and a conversation between the artist and Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Claire Barclay has been commissioned by Tideway, London to create artworks for the new public realm site at Putney. In response to the heritage theme ‘Recreation to Industry: Society in Transition', Barclay has developed a series of three works: three bronze oars to be incorporated into the foreshore balustrade in the form of lengths of handrail; text integrated within the inlaid University Boat Race (UBR) marker line in the form of raised cast lettering; and a graphic pattern waterjet cut into the granite walling of the foreshore kiosk.

Galleri Flach presents new works by Andreas Eriksson in connection with the publication of the monograph ‘Andreas Eriksson’, produced by the Swedish art association SAK.
