Skarstedt Gallery was founded in 1994 by Per Skarstedt to mount historical exhibitions by Contemporary European and American artists that had become the core of his specialty in Sweden and New York in the late 1980's and early 1990's. The New York gallery's program remains focused on artists of the late Twentieth Century whose work explores concepts such as representation, authorship, identity and

sexual politics across a wide-range of media. Skarstedt's unique relationships with artists allows it to present exhibitions both on the primary and secondary markets, creating a dialogue between the generations.

Skarstedt London is delighted to announce an exhibition of Willem de Kooning's 'Late Paintings', the first opportunity to see this body of work in London since the survey at Tate Gallery in 1995. Firmly believing that “I have to change to stay the same”, de Kooning’s redirection at the age of 75 challenged the conventions of painting anew and reinvigorated his work. Characterised by their luminosity and the fluidity of their arcing lines, the bright and often translucent colours of the works from the 1980s mark a radical departure from the dense painterliness of earlier periods and capture the essence of de Kooning's lifetime of experimentation.

Last week of ’s : Knitted Works exhibition.
In choosing wool and knitting, a material and technique traditionally associated with the female domestic realm and craft, Trockel explores the negative connotations of these ‘inferior materials and skills’. Distinguishing her practice from traditional craft, Trockel made blueprints for her designs and had them produced by a technician using computerised machinery. By mechanically producing the knitted patterns, she questions whether the cliché of women’s art relates solely to the choice of materials or whether it is also influenced by the treatment of these materials. ‘I wanted to know what causes a given kind of work to be regarded by women as embarrassing, both in the past and in the present: whether this has to do with the way the material is handled or whether it really lies in the material itself.’

We look forward to welcoming you to our 'Rosemarie Trockel: Knitted Works’ exhibition at .

Muscular in their scale as well as their production, the works in the exhibition highlight the tension between ’s use of feminine materials and the masculine techniques used to create them. In ‘Who Will Be In In ’99?’, 1988 featuring a computer-rendered black geometric structure reminiscent of an Ad Reinhardt Ultimate Painting, Trockel pokes subtle jest at the repeated citation of the 1960s male artists as provoking a radical reconsideration of the nature of painting. Subverting the embedded hierarchies and outdated gender politics through her combination of materials and methods, Trockel paves way for a revised way of looking and attributing value to artistic production.
