Explore “Friend” – A Celebration of Contemporary Art
The “Friend” exhibition showcases iconic works such as Agnes Martin‘s minimalist series, Bridget Riley’s groundbreaking Op Art pieces that have transformed the way we perceive visual art, Frank Stella’s Blyvoors from the renowned South African Mine series, and Tadaaki Kuwayama’s seldom-seen 1980s series, making its first appearance in decades. On the contemporary side, the showcase is enriched by the vibrant contributions of Alana Dee Haynes, Dylan Reitz-Cruz, and Sono Kuwayama, among others, who infuse the dialogue between past and present with innovative perspectives.
Originally presented at Ki Smith Gallery in New York from the 14th of December 2024 to 19th of January 2025, the exhibition is now available online through Walter’s Cube’s digital platform, extending its reach and impact.
