CORKPrada presents an exhibition of work by
Chinese artist Li Qing (featured in On
Art 2016) at Shanghai’s Prada Rong
Zhai (November 7-January 19, 2020).
Rear Windows will be an immersive
exhibition revealing the building’s
history and its connection to modern
Shanghai, all inspired by the voyeuristic
Hitchcock thriller after which the show
is named. Li Qing is known for
exploring both the role of painting
beyond mere representation and
contemporary anxieties, so expect to be
thrilled—and perhaps a bit disturbed.Window
DRESSING
ace, already one of
the largest galleries
in the world with
spaces in seven
cities on three continents,
has just expanded further
with the September opening
of a new, eight-storey,
75,000-square foot agship gallery at 540 West 25th
Street in Chelsea, Manhattan. The new building
(below), designed by Bonetti/Kozersi Architecture,
includes ve large galleries as well as an outdoor
display space with panoramic views of the city and a
tailor-made area for performance art and new media
works. The gallery’s inaugural shows are devoted to
works by the 20th-century mobile maker Alexander
Calder, the veteran British painter David Hockney,
the acclaimed American artist Fred Wilson and the
younger New York-based painter Loie Hollowell

Despite the
uncertainty of
Brexit, the Goodman
Gallery from South
Africa, which has
spaces in Cape
Town and
Johannesburg, is
opening its first
overseas branch in
London at 26 Cork
Street. “It is time for
a gallery from the
African continent to
play more of a front-
line role in shaping
international arts
discourse,” says the
gallery owner and
director Liza Essers,
who represents
leading South
African artists
including William
Kentridge (Lexicon
Paragraph II, above)
and the late
photographer David
Goldblatt. An
opening date has not
been announced, but
it is hoped that visitors
will be welcomed
this autumn.In 2012, New York dealer David Zwirner (left) opened
his irst European outpost in a Mayfair townhouse
where he has presented shows of market heavy hitters
such as Luc Tuymans and Kerry James Marshall. But
“Brexit changes the game,” Zwirner recently told the Financial
Times. “After October, my London gallery will be a British gallery,
not a European one.” So, on October 16, Zwirner is inaugurating a
new space in Le Marais, Paris, with an exhibition devoted to U.S.
artist Raymond Pettibon. “In recent years, Paris has become one
of the most vibrant cities for the visual arts in Europe,” says Zwirner.VIVELAFRANCEÊ
In 2016, Paris Photo axed its Los Angeles event after only three editions
due to poor sales. The French organisation is now attempting to crack the
U.S. market once more with the launch of its irst fair
in New York, on Pier 94 in Manhattan,
in collaboration with the Association
of International Photography
Dealers (April 2-5, 2020). Organisers
hope that it will “create a
transatlantic hub between the two
historic centres for photography—
Paris and New York”.Picture Perfect
