Michael Werner Gallery is pleased to present two major concurrent exhibitions by Marcel Broodthaers. Décor: A Conquest and Bricks: 1966-1975 will provide viewers with an opportunity to see two distinct and rarely-exhibited bodies of work by one of the most important artists of the last century. This is the first showing of Décor: A Conquest in the UK since its debut in London in 1975.

Michael Werner Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of early works by Peter Doig. The exhibition presents a comprehensive overview of Doig’s works from the 1980s and features several paintings and drawings shown for the first time.

Michael Werner Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Melt to Earth, fourteen monumental, site-specific sculptures by Los Angeles-based artist Aaron Curry that were commissioned by Lincoln Center. This major, public exhibition will be the first on the newly redeveloped Josie Robertson Plaza since Lincoln Center’s campus-wide revitalization. 

Michael Werner Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new works by Enrico David. This is the artist's second exhibition with Michael Werner Gallery and his first exhibition in London since the Turner Prize in 2009.

Michael Werner Gallery is pleased to present Tumescence, a group exhibition featuring works by Peter Doig, Sigmar Polke, Peter Saul and Michael Williams. Typically defined as an exaggerated physical condition of enlargement or swelling, tumescence here describes a feeling in painting. The featured works largely discard conventional notions of formal restraint and classical refinement in favor of a tactile and often sexual exploration of painted imagery.

Michael Werner Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of recent paintings by Danish artist Per Kirkeby. With a career spanning five decades, Kirkeby has developed a unique approach to painting, gradually refining a personal palette and vocabulary of images derived primarily from observations of the natural world. This is the first exhibition in London of new works by the artist since his 2009 retrospective exhibition at Tate Modern.

Michael Werner Gallery is pleased to present Klara 13 Pictures, an exhibition of works by Elizabeth Peyton. Depictions of the artist Klara Liden have appeared with some frequency in the artist's oeuvre in recent years. This exhibition brings many of these works together for the first time. Klara 13 Pictures is comprised of related paintings, drawings and prints created in the past four years.

Michael Werner Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of works by Wilhelm Lehmbruck (1881-1919). Wilhelm Lehmbruck is a seminal figure in the development of modernism and the first German sculptor of the twentieth century to significantly impact art on an international scale. Featuring a large selection of sculptures as well as related etchings and works on paper, this is the first major Lehmbruck exhibition in Great Britain since a 1957 exhibition at Tate Gallery.

Michael Werner Gallery is pleased to present Bozzetti for Hercules, an exhibition of sculpture and drawings made around the artist’s sixty-foot sculpture “Hercules”, installed in 2010 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. The exhibition was originally exhibited from 2010-2011 at the LehmbruckMuseum in Duisburg.

Michael Werner Gallery in London is pleased to announce an exhibition of major works by the late American artist James Lee Byars, opening 17 January. Early Works & The Angel includes sculptures, scrolls and performative objects dating from the artist’s time in Japan, where he lived and worked for nearly ten years beginning in 1958. Also exhibited is the 1989 sculpture “The Angel”, a work made of 125 hand-blown glass globes created in Venice over a period of one year. This pairing charts the origin of Byars’s aesthetic and examines the artist’s obsession with figuration and his lifelong quest for perfect form.

Michael Werner Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by A.R. Penck. This is the gallery’s first exhibition of works by the artist since his “New System Paintings” were shown here in 2009.
