Art Basel Miami Beach 2024

Artists on view will include Ross Bleckner, Cosima von Bonin, Isabella Ducrot, Derek Fordjour, Nikita Gale, Charline von Heyl, Sean Landers, Maria Lassnig, James Little, Rodney McMillian, Jorge Pardo, Joyce Pensato, Seth Price, Pieter Schoolwerth, Emily Mae Smith, Nicola Tyson, Raphaela Vogel, Austin Martin White, Leyla Yenirce, and Heimo Zobernig.
Petzel is especially pleased to debut the presentation of new works by Cosima von Bonin, Sarah Morris, James Little, Jorge Pardo, and Nicola Tyson, in addition to landmark works from Maria Lassnig and Joyce Pensato.
James Little presents a new oil painting alongside his debut exhibition at Petzel’s Chelsea location, featuring many apertures with swirling colors, created using an eyedropper to layer multicolored speckles. Little then selectively masks off his surfaces, before blanketing the canvases in a wash of white paint, revealing rows of stars, dots, or squares once partially dry. A significant painting by Joyce Pensato will be on view, L’Area Donald Eyes!, 2000, part of a series of “eyes” paintings that the artist made in Paris from 2000–2001, focusing on the expressive abstraction inherent in the circularity of the cartoon character’s eyes.
A historic painting by Maria Lassnig exemplifies the artist’s desire to expand the spectrum of possibilities between figurative and abstract art. Two figures painted with wide, expressionistic brushstrokes ski on a white primed canvas background. Following his recent exhibition at Petzel Chelsea, Jorge Pardo presents a painting and a set of 7 handblown glass lamps. Both the painting and lamps employ Pardo’s vibrant colors that tie his handmade work to various industrial materials.
Alongside her current exhibition at MUDAM Luxembourg, Cosima von Bonin presents a sculpture from her 2022 Venice Biennale presentation and one of her signature fabric collage panels, each embodying her use of irreverent humor and pop culture iconography. Nicola Tyson presents a new painting ahead of her exhibition at Petzel Chelsea in January 2025, embodying her signature sense of inner representation through abstract figuration and chromatic intensity.
