Giuseppe Penone: The Reflection of Bronze

Gagosian, 555 24th Street New York · Chelsea
Exhibition on view: Apr 22, 2026 - Jul 17, 2026

Giuseppe Penone: The Reflection of Bronze marks Penone's first New York exhibition with Gagosian, presenting two major bodies of work curated by Adam D. Weinberg. Rooted in the Arte Povera artist's late-1960s exploration of trees, the sculptures use bronze to trace time and perpetual change — not as permanent substitute for organic material but as a profound response to enduring artistic questions. Structured across three rooms, the exhibition opens with a cork-lined environment and Marsia (2024), two connected branches evoking the flayed satyr of Greek myth, one bark-covered, one bare.
