Perrotin returns to ART TAIPEI 2025 with a tightly curated presentation that spans postwar masters, established visionaries and contemporary voices from its international program. The booth foregrounds 20th‑century abstraction and figuration alongside recent work by mid‑career and new‑generation artists, offering a cross‑generational survey that foregrounds material experimentation and narrative depth. Visitors can expect a conversation between historic and contemporary practices played out across painting, bronze, glass and mixed‑media installation.

Highlights from the postwar moment include Hans Hartung’s dynamic canvases, such as “T1961‑H23” (1961), which showcases his notable “scratching” technique that was predominant during his repertoire in the era. Other works from Hartunr include the “T1971‑R12” (1971), reflecting his later lithographic roller experiments.

Among established voices, Lee Bae contributes two “Brushstroke” works and an “Issu du feu” piece that interrogate charcoal as both mark and material. Meanwhile, French artist Jean‑Michel Othoniel showcases two sculptures from his “Amant Suspendu” series, which string together reflective, baroque beads of Murano glass and amethyst, inviting quiet contemplation. Laurent Grasso’s Future Herbarium presents imagined double‑headed sunflowers rendered as anachronistic botanical plates, while a joint collaboration between Mr. and Takashi Murakami collapses NFT‑inspired protagonists into Murakami’s exuberant flower fields, continuing their exploration of the porous boundaries between high art and popular visual culture.

Contemporary and emerging perspectives appear across painting and installation: Aya Takano‘s animistic tableaux propose an Edenic futurity inhabited by elongated, fairy‑like figures; Emi Kuraya’s urban oil vignettes map transition and self‑discovery through a shōjo‑inflected palette; and Steph Huang’s found‑object and hand‑blown glass works probe rituals of food, desire and memory.

The booth also features recent work by Jason Boyd Kinsella, Joaquín Boz, Yayoi Deki, Mathilde Denize, Nick Goss, Thilo Heinzmann, Susumu Kamijo, Georges Mathieu, Otani Workshop, GaHee Park, Qi Zhuo and Marty Schnapf, underscoring Perrotin’s plural, international outlook at ART TAIPEI. The showcase, located at Booth A06 in Hall 1 of the Taipei World Trade Center, runs from October 23 – 27, 2025.
