LGDR will present Rear View, the inaugural exhibition of the gallery’s new flagship location at 19 East 64th Street in New York City beginning April 18, 2023. Spanning two floors of this landmark Beaux Arts- style townhouse, Rear View will present a transhistorical selection of approximately 40 paintings, sculptures, works on paper, and photographs that explore representations of the human figure as seen from behind—an enduring, wide-ranging paradigm which has exerted potent influence on modern and contemporary artists. In addition to rare twentieth-century masterworks by Félix Vallotton, René Magritte, Francis Bacon, Domenico Gnoli, Egon Schiele, Paul Cadmus, Aristide Maillol, and others, Rear View will bring together seminal pieces by a diverse group of living artists spanning generations.
