Perrotin New York presents Breathings, Iván Argote’s third solo show with the gallery, highlighting nearly two decades of work. Argote confronts monuments as power symbols, using humor, fiction, and tenderness to imagine new possibilities for public space. From toppling statues to silk paintings bearing poetic phrases, his art calls for connection, repair, and care. This exhibition bridges critique and affection, inviting viewers to engage with history through intimacy and imagination.
