Art Basel, Hong Kong

Dominique Lévy presents an Art Basel Hong Kong booth (Booth 1C15) that bridges parallel movements in Europe, America, and Asia and explores global tendencies in modern and contemporary art. Featuring works by Enrico Castellani, Gerhard Richter, Chung Sang-Hwa, Kazuo Shiraga, Pierre Soulages, Frank Stella, and Cy Twombly, as well as Tsuyoshi Maekawa, Rudolf Stingel, and Lee Ufan, Dominique Lévy’s booth weaves a cross-cultural narrative, placing together a diverse group of artists in dialogue in their sensibility and approach to the language of abstraction. Many of these artists travelled extensively throughout their careers and drew inspiration from the aesthetic and cultural traditions of foreign nations. For others, overseas scholars and curators provided a platform for international recognition. In exhibiting a wide variety of artists working in the mid-twentieth century, Dominique Lévy’s booth will examine the various concerns and tendencies that arose throughout the world, variegated by individual artists’ sociopolitical backgrounds and commitments, in the postwar generation.
