Galerie Michael Werner is pleased to present Frank Auerbach, a retrospective of six decades of paintings and drawings by the eminent German-born, British painter Frank Auerbach (b. 1931 in Berlin, d. 2024 in London). The exhibition will take place in Berlin and is curated by the prominent art historian, longtime sitter and friend to Auerbach, Catherine Lampert. Frank Auerbach is the first posthumous exhibition of the esteemed artist and his first exhibition in the German capital, the city in which he was born and left for England in April 1939.

Known for her paintings of simple, non-distinct forms set against monochromatic backdrops, Raphaela Simon continues her exploration of physicality and bodily autonomy in The Idiot. Presenting a selection of paintings and sculptures, the exhibition plays with our impulse to ascribe meaning to form, oscillating between hot and cold, exposure and shelter, figuration and abstraction.

Michael Werner Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Hurvin Anderson: Passenger Opportunity at the Pérez Art Museum, Miami. The exhibition comprises a new multi-panel painting, developed as a response to the murals of Jamaican artist Carl Abrahams installed at the Norman Manley International Airport, Kingston in 1985. Abraham’s murals were encountered by Anderson during his travels between Jamaica and Miami in the lead up to his participation in the Kingston Biennial in 2022.

The exhibition ECCENTRIC explores the multifaceted spectrum of identity and humanity. The artists experiment in a variety of different media, using the most diverse materials and techniques. They observe and process on their motifs and subjects from the most surprising perspectives. They distort, deform or liquefy figures and forms, combining them into hybrid or amorphous compositions. Curated by Eva Karcher and Bernhart Schwenk, featuring Issy Wood among others.
