The Kuntsmuseum Winterthur just opened a new exhibition by Richard Deacon

26 Aug 2015

The Kuntsmuseum Winterthur, Switzerland just opened a new exhibition by one of Britain’s most celebrated living sculptors and Turner Prize winner, Richard Deacon. Celebrating the artist’s mastery of material and form, On the Other Side focuses on sculptures produced by the artist over the last decade, and brings together works in wood, metal and ceramics that range in size from monumental to diminutive in scale. To get a sense of the show, and the huge efforts required to install his complex works, here’s a video of the installation process with commentary from Deacon and museum director Dieter Schwarz.

Richard Deacon: On the Other Side is on view at Kunstmuseum Winterthur through November 15, 2015.

Here at L.A. Louver, we’ve presented five exhibitions of Deacon’s works over the past 20 years. In fact, when the current gallery building was erected in 1995, Richard Deacon was the first exhibition to go on view. Visit our website to learn more about this historic show.
