Gagosian Quarterly: Winter 24

The Winter 2024 issue of Gagosian Quarterly, featuring Peter Doig’s Night Playground (1997–98) on the cover.

Peter Doig has curated The Street, an exhibition opening in November at Gagosian, New York. In the magazine, he speaks with art historian Richard Shiff about a 1933 painting by Balthus of a surreal street scene that plays a central role in the show.

Elsewhere in the issue, Michael Craig-Martin speaks about his retrospective at London’s Royal Academy with novelist Colm Tóibín; filmmaker Ken Burns discusses his new documentary about Leonardo da Vinci; Jenny Odell visits Sarah Crowner’s studio in Brooklyn as she prepares for an exhibition in Athens; Daria de Beauvais writes on time and memory in Kathleen Ryan’s sculptures; Eli Diner visits Jonas Wood in his Los Angeles studio; and Jessica Beck surveys the career of Rudolf Stingel.

The fourth installment of the Quarterly’s “Gagosian&” supplement delves into dance. Amit Noy studies French collective La(Horde)’s provocative work Age of Content; Moeko Fujii looks to film to ask what it means when we dance alone; and Rennie McDougall considers Cold War dance diplomacy. Also in these pages, costume design duo Reid Bartelme and Harriet Jung speak with playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury about building the world of Illinoise, a musical set to Sufjan Stevens’s concept album of the same title with choreography by Justin Peck; philosopher Thomas Nail explains to Ross Simonini how we can look at the world through the lens of motion; and we celebrate a landmark exhibition on the life and work of Alvin Ailey at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
