THIS IS STILL NOT A PIPE Exhibition - Surrealist artist Rene Magritte

About this event

This exhibition showcases René Magritte, best known as a prominent Belgian Surrealist painter who painted ordinary, everyday objects in bizarre, dreamlike, and thought-provoking contexts. Gagosian is pleased to present an exhibition dedicated to René Magritte and his enduring influence on the art of today, opening on September 24 at the Grosvenor Hill gallery in London. Organized in collaboration with the Fondation Magritte, This Is Still Not a Pipe: The Afterlife of Magritte examines the artist’s legacy through significant paintings, works on paper, and sculpture from all periods of his career. Featuring loans from museums and private collectors, these include some of his best-known subjects, from apples and pipes to bowler hats and cotton-cloud skies. They are juxtaposed with works by more than forty artists of different generations, many of which have been created specifically for the exhibition, in a striking installation inspired by the iconic and paradoxical aspects of Magritte’s practice.
