Art Basel

On the occasion of Art Basel 2023, Blum & Poe is pleased to present a cross section of the gallery’s esteemed program to showcase new voices in contemporary art in conjunction with rarely seen work from artist estates. Historical paintings by Karel Appel, Robert Colescott, and more, are presented alongside new work by recent Blum & Poe affiliations such as Tom Anholt, who will be making his debut presentation with the gallery. This curated selection advances Blum & Poe’s commitment to cultivating the lineages that run between emerging and established practices.

Kenjiro Okazaki, Even if I am in a fluctuating area protected by the boundary of heat, cool air drifts in from the four corners of the room or from a cooler point away from the window or fireplace, where it cools my face. An angel that stops all the upheaval around me (thanks to which I can wrap myself in a blanket) and keeps certainty.; Whether in the dark or in the senses, the position of my chest of drawers, my desk, the fireplace, the window facing the street, and the two doors are immutable. However, immediately after waking from the dream (which is not the case), even the dwelling I felt I was in suddenly becomes uncertain and disappears., 2023
