Luc Tuymans: The Barn

May 11–July 21, 2023
New York | 537 West 20th Street
Opening reception: Thursday, May 11, 6?–?8 PM

His first New York show since 2016, The Barn is conceived by Tuymans as the third in a trilogy of recent exhibitions at David Zwirner—following Good Luck in Hong Kong in 2020, and Eternity in Paris in 2022—and debuts a group of new large-scale paintings by the artist that together convey a pervasive atmosphere of dissolution.

MORE ON TUYMANS

“A lot of Tuymans’s works are about the human paradox of being ‘good’ and ‘evil’ at the same time.”

Curator Caroline Bourgeois, The New York Times

Revisiting PROGRAM: Luc Tuymans

Ahead of Eternity, Tuymans’s 2022 exhibition at our Paris gallery, Helen Molesworth spoke with the artist in his Antwerp studio and together they visited the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp for a private viewing of Jean Fouquet’s c. 1450 painting Virgin and Child Surrounded by Angels, which has inspired Tuymans throughout his career.
