Kaldor Public Art Project 38
Group Exhibition in an exhibition space created by Thomas Demand, with works by John Baldessari, Bernd & Hilla Becher, Gilbert & George, Andreas Gursky, Donald Judd, Frank Stella
Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney
Through January 11, 2026

For the 38th Kaldor Public Art Project, John Kaldor has invited Thomas Demand to create an extraordinary exhibition space in the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ Naala Badu building, specifically designed to display the John Kaldor Family Collection in a whole new light. Demand, who is well known for his photographs, has become deeply interested in architecture and exhibition design. For this project, he turns his attention to the artworks in the Kaldor Collection and to the Art Gallery’s SANAA-designed building. Demand is familiar with SANAA’s practice, having made a series of research visits to their Tokyo studio. This project has been closely informed by his research.

The project features renowned artists from the Kaldor Collection of over 200 works, including Francis Alÿs, Christo, Gilbert & George, Andreas Gursky, Sol LeWitt, Robert Rauschenberg, Ugo Rondinone and Saskia Olde Wolbers.

Seriously.
Curated by Nana Bahlmann
November 21, 2025–January 31, 2026
London

Andreas Gursky
Inherited Images
March 14–April 19, 2025
New York

Andreas Gursky stands out as one of the most important photographers of his generation. His monumentally scaled works have redefined the medium in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, capturing the condition of modern-day life in condensed form. Interested in the workings of globalization, consumerism, and social phenomena as they relate to contemporary society, Gursky examines the realities of our changing planet. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present a solo show of Gursky’s new and recent works as well as a selection of his well-known photographs set in an intertextual dialogue with Old Masters at the New York gallery. Engaging with the images inscribed into our collective memories by the history of painting – from Pieter Bruegel the Elder to J.M.W. Turner and Carl Gustav Carus – the show examines how contemporary images relate to ones of the past, prompting viewers to consider their function as a silent foundation of the way we see.

Space is Time
September 5–November 1, 2020

The online exhibition, Space is Time, examines the relationship between the moving and still image through the work of Andreas Gursky. In the span of Gursky's incredibly prolific career, the technology with which he has captured the still image has changed dramatically. From Alfred Hitchcock to the now ubiquitous iPhone photo, this exhibition traces the changing landscape through the eye of one of the world's most distinguished photographers.

Early Landscapes
April 15–June 21, 2014
London

From the moment he started making photographs to the present day, the landscape has captivated Andreas Gursky. This exhibition is the first to focus on a group of important early landscapes from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. Predating Gursky’s extensive use of digital technology, and characterised by what the artist has called an ‘extraterrestrial’ perspective, the pictures are titled simply and directly after the geographical location where they were taken.

This series of new works by Andreas Gursky represents an important new development in his practice in which the artist reassesses the way he works with photography.

Like many of Andreas Gursky’s works, the new, six-part series Ocean I-VI (2009-2010) goes back to a spontaneous visual experience. As the artist relates, while flying one night from Dubai to Melbourne he stared for some time at the flight monitor: the Horn of Africa to the far left, a tip of Australia to the far right – and there in between the blue void. Then all of a sudden he saw the graphic representation on the monitor as a picture.

This inaugural exhibition of recent works by Andreas Gursky is also the artist’s first UK show since the Serpentine Gallery exhibition in 1998 and is being held jointly with White Cube at Mason’s Yard.

Gursky’s sumptuous large scale photographs of mass events, stock exchanges (of which Kuwait Stock Exchange is the most recent), futuristic architecture and altered landscapes address 21st century concerns such as capitalism and globalisation, the place of the individual in the technological age and man’s impact on the natural environment.
