Gladstone presents Walter Pichler: Sculptures, Drawings, Models, marking the artist’s first exhibition with the gallery since 2001, curated by Olivia Shao. Comprising fourteen works from across Pichler’s rich career, the show highlights the wide range of mediums in which he practiced, including photography, sculpture, and drawing, as well as his exploration of architecture, history, and the relationship between the human body and technology. This exhibition marks a special tribute to late gallery founder Barbara Gladstone, as it was the last presentation she actively oversaw, in close dialogue with Shao and the Walter Pichler Estate.
