Gladstone Gallery

Gladstone is pleased to announce The Rest, an exhibition of new paintings by Rachel Rose. Presented at our 64th Street gallery, this body of work expands upon the artist’s past investigations into the relationship between storytelling, landscape, and the structuring of our belief systems. Rose here addresses the canon of devotional paintings that depict the biblical allegory of the holy family’s flight to Egypt. Illustrating a pause in the journey of Mary, Joseph, and the newborn Jesus as they escape the threat of King Herod, these images typically conflate the natural world with indications of serenity, danger, or the miraculous, situating the story’s protagonists in a world driven by symbolism. For The Rest, Rose has chosen to address this moment exclusively from the perspective of Mary, depopulating the picture plane and extracting all imagery extraneous to this singular point of view. Through this lens, we see the edge of a forest, the drift of clouds passing through the sky or over a moon, the prismatic refraction of the sun’s light, branches bending towards the earth. The 13 paintings included in the series expand this moment to a full day, charting the shift from dawn to morning, afternoon to dusk, and dusk to night.

Gladstone Gallery presents 16 new large-scale, limited-edition photographs by American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe (1946–1989), fulfilling a longtime wish of the artist. Organized in collaboration with the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, the exhibition features a selection of Mapplethorpe’s most iconic images. Most of these works are presented in a format of 60x60 inches, reflecting the artist’s desire to experiment with emerging technologies.

Gladstone Gallery presents an exhibition of 20 new and historic works by Peter Saul, spanning seven decades of the artist’s narrative practice, with many on view for the first time. Saul’s oeuvre has been distinguished by an unflinching resistance to convention, embracing vivid color and a sharp, often satirical approach to subject matter with formal rigor. The thematic survey, titled Peter Saul’s Art History, marks his first exhibition with the Gallery since joining its program in 2025, and centers on an ongoing exploration of works by renowned 20th-century artists Salvador Dalí, Willem de Kooning, Marcel Duchamp, and Pablo Picasso.

January 29 — March 14, 2026 Seoul Gladstone will present new and recent works from Brussels-based mixed-media artist Kasper Bosmans, marking his inaugural solo exhibition in Seoul. The presentation will feature a selection of paintings, sculptures, and murals that explore themes of identity and expression through a contemporary queer lens. Bosmans’ experimental bronze-casting practice and painting style culminate in works that investigate anatomical form and malleability.
