carlier | gebauer is pleased to announce a solo exhibition with gallery artist Peter Stauss, opening Friday, 6 November from 6 – 9 pm.

For his third solo exhibition with the gallery, Stauss will present a series of large-scale oil paintings alongside related small-scale bronze sculptures. The Invisible and the Third Hand focuses on a single character, who appears throughout the works on view in different permutations: the Dutch master. Although their significance may not seem immediately apparent, the legacy of Dutch master paintings weighs heavily on our present. Their depictions of the emergence of an inchoate capitalism begs comparison to our contemporary system of alienated labor, speculation, and futures dealing.
