Sandra Gering Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition that will run throughout summer 2002. Included in the exhibition will be a mirror painting by John Armleder; three stainless steel sculptures from Richard Deacon's ƒ series; a vacuum-formed plastic wall relief by Craig Kauffman; an Inflatable Flower Sculpture by Jeff Koons; and seven Roadscapes by Julian Opie.

John Armleder (born1948, Geneva) lives and works in Geneva. He was a founding member of the Fluxus-type art group Ecart in 1969, and has exhibited widely since that time. Recently his work was included in Open Ends at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. His work is courtesy of Ace Gallery, New York.

Richard Deacon (born 1949, Wales) has been widely recognized as one of the foremost British sculptors, and was awarded the Turner Prize in 1987. His work is represented in major public collections such as: the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Tate Gallery, London; and the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris. Richard Deacon lives and works in London. His sculptures are shown here courtesy of Lisson Gallery, London.

As a member of the Finish Fetish movement in the 1960s, Craig Kauffman (born 1932, Los Angeles) was the first artist to use vacuum-formed plastic as a medium for large-scale works. Over the past 50 years Kauffman has exhibited in galleries and museums all over the world, including solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art, La Jolla. He lives and works in California and the Philippines.

Jeff Koons (born 1955, York, PA) came to the forefront of American art in the 1980s as a proponent of Neo-Geo, a movement concerned with appropriation and parody. Since that time, Koons has had solo exhibitions at: the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Spain, among many other international institutions. His work is courtesy of Sonnabend Gallery, New York.

Julian Opie (born 1958, London) studied at Goldsmiths College of Art between 1979 and 1982. Since his first one person show in 1983, Opie has exhibited widely at venues such as: the Tate Modern, London; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul; and the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin. Opie's Roadscapes are courtesy of Lisson Gallery, London.
