Doug Wheeler at David Zwirner

Gallery hours: Tuesday – Saturday, 10AM – 6PM

This exhibition presents an ambitious new work by Doug Wheeler, a pioneer of the late 1960s and early 1970s “Light and Space” movement, whose installations have rarely been seen in the United States. Built within the gallery’s 519 West 19th Street space, the artist’s fully enveloping environment explores the materiality of light while also emphasizing the viewer's physical experience of infinite space.

On Kawara: Date Painting(s) in New York and 136 Other Cities

Spanning two gallery spaces, this major exhibition features a seminal overview of On Kawara’s date paintings (commonly known as the Today series), with a comprehensive selection of works painted in New York presented alongside more than a hundred paintings executed in other cities around the world. The artist began making his now signature date paintings in 1966 in New York City; following the same basic procedure and format, each of these works is carefully executed by hand with the date documented in the language and grammatical conventions of the country in which it was made.
