M (Michael Chow) 周英華
Bridges 18 Novembre 2022–28 Janvier 2023 “Theatre is all about the moment. Every performance is different. It's the same with painting, a painting can take you anywhere and as an artist, you don’t try to control it. Even with an artist like Mondrian, inside his world of control there’s so much spontaneity.” Lire plus -

Bernar Venet
Hypotheses 28 Septembre–12 Novembre 2022 “Many people think that I have studied mathematics, but I am not a mathematician: I believe an artist’s real role is to question everything that constitutes the nature and definition of art. Putting mathematical language at the centre of my work allows me to introduce a subject to the artistic field that is neither abstract nor figurative: it is freed from those traditions.” Lire plus -

Hans Hartung
Painter • Photographer 22 Avril–1 Juillet 2022 While many are familiar with the abstract paintings of German-French artist Hans Hartung (b.1904, Leipzig, Germany; d.1989, Antibes, France), few know of their connection to his photography. In collaboration with the Hartung-Bergman Foundation, Waddington Custot presents Hans Hartung: Painter, Photographer, a museum-quality exhibition that illuminates the importance of photography to the development of the painter’s work. Today, approximately 30,000 photographic negatives are held by the Foundation, with those the artist printed organised chronologically and thematically in numerous albums, demonstrating the tremendous value he ascribed them. Nevertheless Hartung’s photographs – a vital yet rarely explored aspect of his practice – have never before been exhibited in London; this will be the first time that some have been publicly exhibited.

Making It
Women and Abstract Sculpture 1 Octobre–13 Novembre 2021 Waddington Custot presents Making It, a group exhibition dedicated to a generation of pioneering women sculptors who came to prominence in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Taking an unexpected approach to their chosen media: fusing gold leaf with linen for instance, folding metal or hand-knotting rope, these artists challenged modernist conventions and expanded conceptions of the appropriate media and methods for sculpture. Artists in the exhibition include Olga de Amaral, Lynda Benglis, Françoise Grossen, Maren Hassinger, Barbara Levittoux-Świderska, Louise Nevelson, Beverly Pepper, Mildred Thompson and Sophia Vari. These artists are known for working on an ambitious scale, building upon the gallery’s focus on monumental sculpture. Lire plus -
Table Pieces
An intimate collection of sculptures 26 Juillet–9 Août 2021 Waddington Custot presents Table Pieces, a digital exhibition dedicated to an intimate collection of sculptural pieces by eight celebrated artists: Alma Allen, César, Barry Flanagan, Fausto Melotti, Joan Miró, Beverly Pepper, Pablo Reinoso and Antoni Tàpies.
While renowned sculptors often rise to prominence with large-scale – sometimes monumental – pieces, many also work on an altogether more human measure. This digital presentation includes a variety of intriguing small-scale sculptures, from pieces that deliberately engage with human proportions designed for domestic settings, to hand-made models and maquettes that respond to larger sculptures, often giving rise to new ones.
Many of the works have component parts such as handles, or curves and indentations, of which the size is recognisably intended to fit into the human hand or to create a dialogue with the body. These sculptures not only retain, but condense to great effect, the ambition, concept and scope of the artists’ larger scale work. Lire plus
