GRAY is pleased to announce Apparitions, presenting the work of over twenty pioneering artists from across the last century whose interrogations of the human form and its fleeting presence have pushed boundaries of representation. Whether by dematerializing the body, imagining spirits, or making mirages, artists conjure a hallucinatory realm—a liminal space between what appears and what vanishes.
Exhibited artists include Magdalena Abakanowicz, Huma Bhabha, McArthur Binion, Roger Brown, Jean Dubuffet, Alberto Giacometti, Ewan Gibbs, Ann Hamilton, Reggie Burrows Hodges, Rashid Johnson, Alex Katz, David Klamen, Jim Lutes, Ana Mendieta, Sandra Mujinga, Trevor Paglen, Naudline Pierre, Jaume Plensa, Susan Rothenberg, Mira Schor, Evelyn Statsinger, John Storrs, Kara Walker, and Wilmer Wilson IV.
Apparitions will be on view at GRAY Chicago (2044 W. Carroll Ave.) from April 25 through June 27, 2025. The exhibition will open with a reception 6–8PM on Friday, April 25.
