At Frieze London, the gallery will present new works by Katherine Bernhardt, Elisheva Biernoff, Michaël Borremans, Marcel Dzama, Louis Fratino, Sasha Gordon, Nate Lowman, Emma McIntyre, Yu Nishimura, Jem Perucchini, Walter Price, Dana Schutz, Wolfgang Tillmans, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Lisa Yuskavage. Recent work by Francis Alÿs, Joe Bradley, Steven Shearer, Luc Tuymans, Andra Ursuța, Rose Wylie, and Portia Zvavahera will also be on view.
Sasha Gordon’s new painting extends her exploration of surreal narrative scenes rendered in hyperrealistic detail. The work depicts three figures in a bathhouse, beneath which a cross section reveals another character in the artist’s likeness—stretched in the manner of the anamorphic skull in Hans Holbein’s The Ambassadors (1533)—as she pokes her fingers through the drain above. In this scene, Gordon envisions another world that bears uncanny resemblance to our own and continues to suggest the complex nature of reconciling one’s many selves.
The booth will feature new paintings by Jem Perucchini, presented in collaboration with Corvi-Mora. The artist will have a solo exhibition at David Zwirner’s Tribeca location in November of this year.
At Frieze Masters, the gallery will co-present a booth with Victoria Miro featuring a selection of paintings by Alice Neel as part of the fair’s curatorial initiative Queering Modernism: Visual Languages of the 20th Century, which foregrounds work that engages with queer experience and the representation of LGBTQIA+ subjects. The presentation draws from the show curated by Hilton Als, At Home: Alice Neel in the Queer World, which debuted at David Zwirner Los Angeles in 2024 and traveled to Victoria Miro in London in 2025.
Currently on view at David Zwirner London is a solo exhibition of work by Louis Fratino, the artist’s first presentation with David Zwirner since the announcement of his representation earlier this year. This show marks Fratino’s first solo exhibition in London, and follows Fratino and Matisse: To See This Light Again at the Baltimore Museum of Art.
Also on view in London during Frieze is Robert Ryman: The Real Thing at the Barbican. This will be the first exhibition in the United Kingdom to take an in-depth look at Ryman’s work in over thirty years. The Real Thing will feature over sixty works from Ryman’s prolific career from the mid-1950s up to the early 2010s.
At Art Basel Paris, the gallery will present work by Josef Albers, Ruth Asawa, Marlene Dumas, Yayoi Kusama, Kerry James Marshall, Joan Mitchell, Bruce Nauman, Gerhard Richter, and more.
A highlight of the booth will be Marlene Dumas’s new painting Poisonous Proposal (2025), which relates to her Musée du Louvre commission Liaisons, currently on view at the museum. Installed in a grid at the entry to the Galerie des cinq continents, the series is the first by a contemporary female artist to enter the Louvre’s permanent collection.
Liaisons comprises nine large-scale paintings, each depicting a single face, tightly cropped and filling the canvas. Dumas drew on sculptures from different cultures and periods, merging queens, deities, heroes, and demons into new figures of her own invention. Poisonous Proposal depicts a broad face that appears as though it’s being stretched across the support, its eyes seemingly half-closed in an ambiguous expression. Vibrant green floods both face and background, its varying transparency giving the figure a mottled, blurry quality, as if seen underwater.
Dumas will also have a major solo exhibition of new and recent work at David Zwirner in New York in spring 2027.
At David Zwirner Paris, an exhibition of work by Oscar Murillo will be on view. Unfinished thinking: Paintings and Social Maps marks the artist’s ninth show with David Zwirner, following recent solo presentations at the gallery’s locations in Paris (2024) and New York (2022). On view will be new paintings as well as additional works.
On view at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris will be Kerry James Marshall: The Histories, the first exhibition in France dedicated to Kerry James Marshall. Organized by the Royal Academy of Arts in London, and in collaboration with the Kunsthaus Zürich, the exhibition includes seventy works, including eight new paintings created especially for this traveling show. Conceived with the artist’s support, the exhibition aims to trace more than four decades of his career. It presents numerous cycles of work that unfolds primarily in the field of painting but also through engravings, drawings, and sculpture, from museums and private collections in North America and Europe.
Jeu de Paume will present the largest survey of Stan Douglas’s work in Paris in over thirty years. Parallax will highlight the breadth of Douglas’s practice, which combines film and video, photography, installation, and theatrical elements. The exhibition will present works dating from the 1980s to the present day. Bodies Never Lie will concurrently be on view at LUMA Arles. At the heart of the exhibition is a new film production, commissioned by LUMA Arles, entitled Exquisite Corpse. Set in the world of flamenco in 1950s Spain under the Franco dictatorship, this film explores flamenco not only as a musical form, but also as a codified space of expression, shaped by censorship, identity issues, and political constraints.
On view at the Bourse de Commerce will be a solo exhibition by Barbara Kruger titled The History of Tears. Curated by Matthieu Humery, photography advisor to the Pinault Collection, this exhibition was designed specifically for the museum’s rotunda and its surrounding twenty-four display cases, and will immerse viewers in a constant flow of words, phrases, and messages that take the form of filmed sequences and audio clips.
Also on view at the Bourse de Commerce will be a photography exhibition celebrating the bicentenary of the birth of the medium. Titled Remember Me, a reference to an original work by Barbara Kruger that will be shown in the museum’s rotunda, the exhibition will feature around seven hundred works by more than seventy artists.
Lafayette Anticipations presents Towards a Sea, the first institutional solo exhibition in France by Yu Nishimura. It brings together a body of work comprising some fifty pieces, ranging from drawings to large-scale paintings, created over the last ten years, some of which have been created specifically for the exhibition.
On view at the Salle de la Chapelle at the Musée du Louvre is Les Hôtes du Louvre (Hosts at the Louvre), an exhibition of work made by Elizabeth Peyton and Kader Attia between 2024 and 2026 when the artists had residencies at the museum. The show will present new paintings and drawings made by Peyton in response to works in the Louvre’s collection. Also on view at the museum is Marlene Dumas: Liaisons, the first work by a contemporary female artist to join the museum’s permanent collection. Liaisons consists of nine paintings conceived for the vast wall of the Porte des Lions atrium of the Louvre.
