David Gill Gallery, London, is exhibiting a “Summer Group Show” through September 7, 2019.The “Summer Group Show” at David Gill Gallery is the perfect opportunity to discover — or rediscover — key pieces of modern and contemporary design, many of which are shown together for the first time. “Exhibiting over 80 works of such extraordinary quality creates a visual feast in the gallery and sets up new and unexpected dialogues. These pieces have been hand-picked by David Gill, the widely-acknowledged father of Collectible Design and Design-Art, and this wide-ranging selection provides real access to his visual world,” says the gallery.On display are historical interest is the trio of Yves Klein coffee tables — Klein Rose, Klein Blue and Klein Gold, 1961. These are juxtaposed with a more recent and equally important work, Zaha Hadid’s Coffee Table “Liquid Glacial,” 2012. Fredrikson Stallard’s 2019 polished bronze coffee table, “Justification of Grace,” dialogues with Michelle Oka Doner’s round table, “Radiant,” 1995, also in bronze, which, from a different angle, faces Mattia Bonetti’s “Yo-Yo” coffee table 2008, in stainless steel.“Works from Jorge Pardo’s acclaimed 2015 ‘Meretricious’ collection, created for David Gill Gallery, include a wall-mounted chest of drawers and a vast, vertical, mirror, hung opposite Michelle Oka Donner’s sculptural bronze mirror ‘Fertile Reflection.’ Both artists are clearly inspired by the natural world,” adds the gallery. “David Chipperfield’s bookcase, ‘Single Bay High Iconic,’ is a highlight, as is Ron Arad’s semi-circular desk, in mirror and steel, ‘Table #5.’ Garouste & Bonetti’s torchere, ‘Toledo,’ 1999, is full of wit and intrigue, but matched in impact by Fredrikson Stallard’s astonishing glass-topped, stainless steel dining table, ‘Atlantic.’” The ceramic sculptures by both Lena Peters and Milena Musquiz are a testament of power and are not dwarfed by the buffets, lamps, consoles, tables, and chandeliers surrounding them. Ironically, these smaller artworks are imbued with so much character and beauty, and contain such fascinating narratives, that they hold their own in a show of the design world’s most scene-stealing pieces. The exhibition is on view through September 7, 2019, at David Gill Gallery 2-4 King Street, London SW1Y 6QP, UK.For details, visit: http://www.blouinartinfo.com/galleryguide/david-gill-gallery/overview Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
