Carol Bove: Vase/Face

David Zwirner presents an exhibition of new work by Carol Bove at the gallery’s Paris location. The exhibition follows the artist’s acclaimed 2021 exhibitions at the Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and will be Bove’s first solo show in Paris since her Prix Lafayette presentation at Palais de Tokyo in 2010.

The exhibition features new, large-scale sculptures made of crumpled sandblasted stainless-steel tubing; each is combined with a large, reflective, circular glass disk. Presented in a monochrome environment, the exhibition considers the phenomenological experience of form and the surrounding spatial context. Also featured will be new wall-mounted works with colourful matte finishes that paradoxically render the steel as if it were effortlessly malleable. Together, the works on view continue the artist’s exploration into the limits of physicality and perception.
