September 26 — November 1, 2025
New York: 64th Street
Gladstone Gallery presents an exhibition of works by Karen Kilimnik from the late 1980s onward, following the gallery’s presentation of new paintings earlier this year. Surveying Kilimnik’s career-long devotion to diverse media, the exhibition attests to both her central role in the revitalization of painting, as well as to her masterful and genre-transgressing impulse to negate the distance between personal, art historical, and cultural archives. The exhibition is on view September 26 through November 1 at Gladstone’s 64th Street location in New York.
