Solo Shows
One of the premier trademarks of The Art Show remains the emphasis on one-person presentations, and the
26th edition is no exception. With 38 solo shows the 2014 Art Show will present exhibitions of art world icons
and introduce audiences to groundbreaking new artists. Sperone Westwater will present the first exhibition
of new works by Charles LeDray since his acclaimed traveling retrospective organized by the ICA Boston.
Never before exhibited historical works, vintage photographs, ephemera and films by Martha Wilson will be
shown by P-P-O-W. Marian Goodman Gallery will present a selection of early lightboxes by Jeff Wall. To
mark the 100th birthday of Ad Reinhardt, 303 Gallery will exhibit new works by Jacob Kassay who is greatly
influenced by Reinhardt. Holographic works by light artist James Turrell will be on view in Pace Gallery’s
booth.

In addition to solo shows, The Art Show 2014 remains unparalleled with its installation of curated, thematic
exhibitions. Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects will present Groups and Grids with works by Robert
Watts, Agnes Denes and Michelle Stuart. The Power of Color, an exhibition by June Kelly Gallery, will
