Gagosian proudly presents To Bend the Ear of the Outer World: Conversations on contemporary abstract painting, a display of new and recent works by over forty artists from the Americas, United Kingdom, and Germany. The exhibition has been put together by guest curator Gary Garrels, who has worked with the artists to select a single painting by each, with most works being shown for the first time.

This is the first time Gagosian has used both its Mayfair galleries, at Grosvenor Hill and Davies Street, for an exhibition. With its sleek and modern design, the gallery creates an immersive space for exhibiting renowned artists' works. Renowned for its diverse collection of paintings, sculptures and installations, the gallery consistently captivates visitors with its thought-provoking and boundary-pushing exhibitions, making it a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts in the heart of the city.

The exhibition in London explores the importance of abstract painting in the present day, from Garrels's point of view. By bringing together a variety of contemporary abstraction approaches, the exhibition showcases works by three generations of artists, including some never before exhibited by Gagosian.

Participating artists include Tomma Abts, Richard Aldrich, Tauba Auerbach, Frank Bowling, Mark Bradford, Cecily Brown, Vija Celmins, Matt Connors, Tomm El-Saieh, Jadé Fadojutimi, Suzan Frecon, Katharina Grosse, Mark Grotjahn, Wade Guyton, David Hammons, Mary Heilmann, Thilo Heinzmann, Richard Hoblock, Jacqueline Humphries, Suzanne Jackson, Jennie C.
