Group Show "I Don’t Like Fiction, I Like History" @ Gagosian Gallery In Los Angeles

I Don’t Like Fiction, I Like History, with works by Thomas Demand, Andreas Gursky, Duane Hanson, Sharon Lockhart, and Jeff Wall opens at Gagosian Gallery. Using the pictorial languages of realism and illusion, the participating artists turn fragments of everyday life into legible narratives. Duane Hanson’s ensemble of construction workers at rest, Lunchbreak (1989), and a figure modeled after his own child in a quiet moment, Child with Puzzle(1978), are installed with photographic works that both reflect and complicate ideas of recorded reality and subjective, constructed composition. On view through September 28th at Gagosian Gallery 456 North Camden Drive, Beverly Hills.

Duane Hanson's Hyperrealistic Sculptures Are On View Now At the Serpentine Sackler Gallery in London

The Serpentine presents the work of late American sculptor Duane Hanson in his first survey show in London since 1997. Throughout his forty-year career, Hanson created lifelike sculptures portraying working-class Americans and overlooked members of society. Reminiscent of the Pop Art movement of the time, his sculptures transform the banalities and trivialities of everyday life into iconographic material. The exhibition will be on view until September 13, 2015 at Serpentine Sackler Gallery.
