I wanted to move past that and let the tar be art, be itself, be part of artistic vocabulary." —Theaster Gates Theaster Gates’s first-ever solo exhibition in New York, “Black Vessel,” is on view at Gagosian, 555 West 24th Street, through December 19. In 2012, Gates began to formalize his knowledge of roofing techniques into a new territory of experimental painting, working with tar to make the invisible roof legible. In a new suite of individually titled paintings completed this year, Gates has intensified his approach, crafting painted torch down into taut, conjoined backdrops for the interplay of archeological tarred fragments. Entry to the exhibition is by appointment only. Follow the link in our bio to reserve your place. __________ #Gagosian @theastergates (1) Still from "Theaster Gates: Black Vessel."
