Through November 26, 2023
Punta della Dogana, Venice

Icônes includes painting, video, sound, installation, and performance from the Pinault Collection. The icons of the title suggest a transcendent reality—the power to render material the invisible, create emotion or a sense of aesthetic and spiritual bedazzlement. This exhibition considers both the fragility and the power of images as icons and the multiple meanings they carry. Work by Theaster Gates, Donald Judd, and Rudolf Stingel is included.

Une seconde d’éternité

June 22, 2022–January 9, 2023
Bourse de Commerce, Paris

Une seconde d’éternité brings together twenty artists whose works “generate a space-time.” The installation creates a landscape that enters into dialogue with the architecture, from the darkness of the lower level to the light of the upper galleries. The exhibition is inspired by the oeuvre of Felix Gonzalez-Torres and his work’s openness to tangible emotions and to new forms of connection and aesthetic experiences. Work by Rudolf Stingel is included.

Rudolf Stingel

May 22, 2021–January 17, 2022
Bourse de Commerce, Paris
www.pinaultcollection.com

The Bourse de Commerce presents three portraits by Rudolf Stingel as part of its inaugural series of exhibitions. The first depicts art dealer Paula Cooper, an indefatigable pioneer and defender of the avant-garde; the second shows his friend Franz West; and the last portrays the German Expressionist painter Ernst Ludwig Kirchner dressed in a soldier’s uniform. Based on small-format photographs that the artist dramatically enlarges without erasing the graininess, blurring, or evidence of wear and tear, these images are faithfully transposed via Stingel’s meticulous painting.

Rudolf Stingel

May 26–October 6, 2019
Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel

Since the late 1980s, Rudolf Stingel has approached painting in a conceptual and self-reflective way, exploring its possibilities and media-specific boundaries in the interplay of artistic approaches, materials, and forms. The accidental traces of time emerge in his works, as do conscious references to his own production process. This is the first museum exhibition in Europe to present Stingel’s important series of works from all periods of his career. New works were created for the exhibition.
