Contemporary Art Shows In November 2024 For Minimalist Art Lovers

The end of the year is approaching and the last exhibitions of the year are starting. In November, there is an incredibly great selection of exhibitions for minimalist art lovers. Let’s start this month’s selection in New York. David Zwirner presents “Every Which Way,” an installation by Richard Serra that consists of sixteen vertical steel plates. Also in New York, Galerie Amelie, Maison d’art presents the first US exhibition of French artist Jean-Philippe Lagouarde, while ARDEN + WHITE Gallery in New Canaan presents a solo exhibition by Gwen Hardie that explores color gradients under different lighting conditions.

In Knokke, Belgium, the group exhibition “Shift: Abstract Transformations” at Buysse Gallery explores abstract art as an expression of transformative experiences. In Zurich, Galerie Haas is showing works by Frank Gerritz under the title “Seraphic Light”. And in Barcelona, Alzueta Gallery is presenting the exhibition “Safe Haven” by Spanish artist Maria Yelletisch, inspired by her personal retreat in Asturias.

These are my favorites for this month. If you want to explore all shows, click here.

David Zwirner presents “Every Which Way”, a 2015 installation by Richard Serra, at the gallery at 537 West 20th Street in New York. Serra’s work consists of sixteen vertical steel plates arranged at different heights in a staggered grid formation. Visitors are invited to interact with the plates by exploring horizontal and vertical movements in space. The installation references both architectural structures and human navigation in urban space.

In Knokke, Belgium, the group exhibition “Shift: Abstract Transformations” has been on display at the Buysse Gallery since October. Curated by art historian Carmen Casiuc, the show invites the viewers to explore abstract art as an expression of transformative experiences.

The exhibition offers a multifaceted exploration of stylistic and thematic relationships. The artists presented include, among others, Tycjan Knut, Tom Van Puyvelde and Emanuel Seitz. The exhibition space will continue to develop until the end of December 2024, with new artists and works continuously evolving the space.

Galerie Haas in Zurich is showing works by the German artist Frank Gerritz in the exhibition “Seraphic Light”. The artist combines a unique use of materials with precise surface treatment in his abstract, conceptual wall sculptures and large-format drawings. His works are based on clear geometric forms and start from the human figure, dealing with centers and edges, lines and body surfaces, with the definition of volume and space, and playing with contrasts such as light and dark as well as horizontal and vertical forces.

Galerie Amelie, Maison d’art New York presents “Unpredictable Nature”, the first exhibition of French artist Jean-Philippe Lagouarde in the United States. In this show, Lagouarde explores the complex relationship between space, time and color. His work centers on the use of blotting paper that allows ink to seep through, creating hypnotic and minimalist compositions, subtly questioning the viewer’s perception.

Alzueta Gallery presents “Safe Haven”, the second solo exhibition by Spanish artist Maria Yelletisch. The artist presents a series of new works on canvas and a sculptural installation inspired by the impressions and emotions of her personal retreat in Asturias.

Yelletisch uses painting to recreate the sensations and spirit of this refuge through dynamic brushstrokes and a sophisticated play of colors. Each work acts as a “color chart” of the Asturian landscapes, whose beauty and uniqueness are preserved in the painting.

ARDEN + WHITE Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Gwen Hardie in November. Hardie is known for her ability to capture color under various lighting conditions, using layers and blends to create gentle transitions and glowing surfaces. The exhibition features works that explore the balance between warmth, serenity, and introspection, highlighting the dimensions of light in the chromatic spectrum. Her paintings balance abstraction and representation, inviting the viewer to explore the fluid boundaries of color and form.
