Lisson Contemporary art gallery with exhibition spaces in London, New York, Los Angeles and Shanghai
(345)

Lisson Gallery is one of the most influential and longest-running international contemporary art galleries in the world. Since being founded in 1967 by Nicholas Logsdail, it has championed the careers of artists who have transformed the way art was made and presented. These include many important minimal and conceptual artists, such as Sol LeWitt and Richard Long, as well as a whole generation of

significant British sculptors from Anish Kapoor and Richard Deacon to Shirazeh Houshiary and Tony Cragg. It continues to support the future of its artists, the legacy of historical figures, the evolving practice of established artists and the wide-ranging potential of emerging and new talents.

On Friday 19 June, Shirazeh Houshiary will be in conversation with Sir Gabriele Finaldi as part of The National Gallery's Friday Lates series, to discuss her practice in relation to 17th-century Spanish artist Francisco de Zurbarán.

Formal elements of Renaissance painting can be found in Houshiary’s work in her composition, rhythm, structure and depiction of light. This is particularly evident in her digital animation, ‘A Cup and a Rose’ (2019) inspired Zurbarán’s still-life painting ‘A Cup of Water and a Rose’ (1630). In 2008, Houshiary was commissioned to design the East Window installed above the altar of the neighbouring St Martin-in-the-Fields, for which she cited the painting ‘The Veil of St Veronica’, which features in the exhibition ‘Zurbarán’, as a source.

Their discussion is interspersed by choral performances by St Martin’s Voices, featuring a selection of sacred music chosen in response to the exhibition.

🗓️ Friday, 19 June, 6.30 – 7.45 pm

📍 Pigott Theatre, The National Gallery, London

Find us at Booth C16 at Art Basel on view through 21 June.

Lisson's presentation features new and historic works by artists from its international programme, spanning painting, sculpture, textiles, and photography. The booth brings together works by Olga de Amaral, Dana Awartani, Huguette Caland, Tony Cragg, Ding Yi, Ha Chong-Hyun, Hugh Hayden, Carmen Herrera, Leiko Ikemura, Anish Kapoor, Ken Price, Hélio Oiticica, Dalton Paula, Jack Pierson, Pedro Reyes, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Tunga and Yu Hong, among others.

Dana Awartani is represented on the booth by 'When the Dust of Conflict Settles: Baalshamin Temple III' (2025), a hand-carved stone sculpture that continues her sustained engagement with architectural heritage, memory and cultural preservation.

The booth includes two significant works by Anish Kapoor: the mirror 'Spanish and Pagan Gold to Garnet and Brandy Wine' (2020) and the painting 'Untitled' (2012), demonstrating Kapoor’s longstanding fascination with perception, material transformation and the symbolic resonance of colour.

Elsewhere on the booth, Ha Chong-Hyun’s 'Conjunction 23-83' (2023) marks the first presentation of the artist’s work by the gallery and anticipates his forthcoming solo exhibition at Lisson London.

New paintings by Yu Hong, entitled 'Unbound' (2025) and 'Susurration' (2026), also precede the artist’s forthcoming solo exhibition at Lisson New York this November.

Now open: Anish Kapoor returns to the Hayward Gallery where he staged his first major UK survey almost 30 years ago.

Kapoor’s exhibition fills the entire gallery building with a series of immersive works, many of which press against the gallery walls and floors or descend from the ceiling to create an uncanny sensation of awe and wonder.

The exhibition features works from many of Kapoor’s most iconic series: flawless steel mirror sculptures that warp, distort and disorient; mysterious objects coated in Vantablack – the blackest known substance in the world – that mystify us with their extraordinary light-absorbing properties; and seemingly depthless voids opening within the gallery, drawing us in with a thrilling sense of vertigo.

The exhibition also introduces dramatic recent works: visceral paintings and sculptures that confront us with the fragility of human existence. In addition, the artist presents several new works that appear to turn the world inside out and upside down, including a pair of monumental installations in the artist’s signature red.

At Art Basel Unlimited, Ryan Gander presents 'I’ve felt everything I’m going to feel – The Unspeakable World' (2026), the latest work in his celebrated series of animatronic mice.

Emerging from the debris of a hole in the wall, a striped field mouse delivers a philosophical monologue exploring the nature of language, consciousness and attention. Voiced by the artist’s twelve-year-old daughter, the work transforms an intimate encounter into a meditation on perception, inviting viewers to kneel and listen rather than be overwhelmed by spectacle.

At Art Basel Unlimited, Wael Shawky presents a site-specific extension of 'I Am Hymns of the New Temples'.

Monumental vitrines populated by masks, bronzes and glass works connected to the film expand Shawky’s exploration of mythology, archaeology and collective memory. Drawing upon the layered histories of Pompeii and the Mediterranean world, the installation reimagines ancient narratives through sculpture, performance and cinematic storytelling. Shawky’s acclaimed film 'Drama 1882' will also be presented at the Grand Palais, Paris, from 10 June through 26 July 2026.

Now open: 'Laure Prouvost: Nous, frissons d’étoiles' at the Grand Palais.

At the entrance to the exhibition, a tunnel leads you into a environment inhabited by a monumental kinetic sculpture. Animated by sound and light, and possessing six limbs that unfold in space, it is simultaneously omnipresent and evanescent, imposing and fragile, cosmic and terrestrial. At its center, a video entitled 'We Felt A Star Dying' connects you to matter in all its forms: living and non-living, natural and mechanical, from the infinitely small to the infinitely large. Surrounding it, whimsical, meteorite-like elements (a nod to qubits, the units of quantum computing), evoke the phenomenon of entanglement.

🗓️ On view through 26 July at the Grand Palais, Paris

The Royal Academy presents their Summer Exhibition featuring John Akomfrah, Ryan Gander, Christopher Le Brun, Richard Long, and Bernard Piffaretti.

The Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition returns this year, bringing together works by established and emerging artists, across a wide range of disciplines, including painting, sculpture, photography, film and architecture.

Ryan Gander has been appointed as the Co-ordinator of the 2026 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. "The 2026 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition’s theme is Interconnectedness. It will aim to explore ideas of entanglement, as well as the unexpected and fortuitous connections and associations between disparate things, no matter how abstract or illogical. Proof that, as humans, our outputs hold more commonality than separation, without us intentionally seeking it" – Ryan Gander OBE RA

Closing soon: 'Liu Xiaodong: Host', the artist's first exhibition in Los Angeles.

For the renowned figurative artist’s latest painterly journey and his first exhibition in Los Angeles, Liu Xiaodong visited another American city last year, focusing his documentation of a stay in Detroit on a single, central focus for the first time in his career.

His sole subject is John Mcintyre, a Detroit-based tattoo artist and member of a local medieval fighting team, who is variously depicted by the artist in full armor, mid-battle in a snowy forest, or else at home, relaxing in a hot tub. The concentration of this painting project on one man, the host and conduit for all of the artist's interactions with the city, leads Liu to portray industrial and suburban Detroit through the lens of John and his loyal band of brothers.

🗓️ On view through 13 June at 1037 N. Sycamore Ave
