At the time Oldenburg was just beginning his transition from his
oversize soft sculptures
of the 60s to monumental fabricated
steel pieces that could survive outside.
The silkscreen ink on mirror polished stainless
steel pieces, all from 2014, are studies
of pattern and light that, through the reflective media, incorporate the viewer and environment into the
oversized panels.
Visitors to the English Gardens can also encounter an over-sized snake ring in polished concrete by Kathleen Ryan (François Ghebaly, Los Angeles); a large marble form by Tony Cragg (Lisson Gallery, London); an anthropomorphic bronze by William Turnbull (Offer Waterman, London); a work from the «Signal» series by Takis (Axel Vervoordt, Antwerp); Dominique Stroobant's elegant geometric composition (Axel Vervoordt, Antwerp); a new solar - powered light and sound
piece by Haroon Mirza (Lisson Gallery, London), developing from his intervention at the Museum Tinguely, Basel, earlier this year; a large painted and lacquered metal
piece by Gary Webb (The Approach, London); an
oversized beaten
steel shoe by Aaron Angel (Rob Tufnell, London); a new ceramic «totem pole» by Jesse Wine (Limoncello, London); a colony
of rabbits made from plastic bags by Leo Fitzmaurice (The Sunday Painter, London) and Seung - taek Lee's monumental balloon model
of the earth, which will gradually deflate across the course
of the fair (Gallery Hyundai, Seoul).
