Art basel paris with hauser and wirth

Jeffrey Gibson. This is dedicated to the one I love
​Hauser & Wirth Paris ​
​20 October – 20 December 2025 ​
 
Jeffrey Gibson’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and in France will take place at Hauser & Wirth’s Parisian outpost this Autumn. Celebrating the breadth of Gibson’s output, the exhibition features three new groups of paintings, ranging from large to intimate in scale, alongside new works from Gibson’s series of celebrated punching bags, hanging cloaks, paintings on paper, canvas and beaded panel, as well as a new body of free-standing ceramic head sculptures. The title of the show, ‘This is dedicated to the one I love,’ is a pause for empathy and a meditation on how we act and make in times of crisis.
 
Over the past three decades, Gibson has developed a rich interdisciplinary practice that draws from American, Indigenous and queer histories as well as references to popular music, literature and art historical narratives. The artist’s distinctive visual language embraces a broad spectrum of cultural expressions and collaged identities in a way that is simultaneously intimate and radically expansive. The works on show are characterized by Gibson’s bold chromatic sensibility and emphasis on pattern and abstraction, whilst also drawing on histories of color studies and the concept of the psycho-prismatic, how color, light and prisms allow us to see multiple things at once. ​ 
 
Gibson is the sixth artist selected for the 2025 Genesis Facade Commission for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York NY, creating four works for the museum’s historic exterior on display from 12 September 2025 – May 2026. Other current and forthcoming solo projects include an immersive installation at MASS MoCA in North Adams MA until November 2026 and an exhibition at Kunsthaus Zürich, Switzerland, from 13 June – December 2025, Gibson’s first presentation in a European museum following his solo exhibition for the US Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale in Italy.
