Lucian Freud - Recent WorkNovember 2, 2006 - December 20, 2006
The fourth exhibition of Lucian Freud’s work at the gallery, this show presented the artist’s newest paintings and etchings completed since his last show at Acquavella in 2004. Including paintings of a number of startling female nudes, a view of his garden, a mare eating hay, his studio assistand David Dawson with his dog Eli, and a portrait of the artist's dealer, William Acquavella, this show highlighted Freud's continued and passionate exploration of reccurent themes.
Manolo MillaresApril 18, 2006 - June 2, 2006
This show presented a selection of Spanish artist Manolo Millares' paintings, collages, and drawings, focusing on his crucially inventive years between 1957 and 1964.
By ripping, tearing, and wrapping red, black, and white canvas around naked stretchers, Millares subverted the very essence of easel painting with a uniquely Spanish sense of dramatic existentialism. Millares confronted the dark history of Spain's recent past and paved the way for an entirely new visual language.
James Rosenquist - MonochromesOctober 4, 2005 - November 11, 2005
This exhibition presented the first retrospective devoted exclusively to grisaille and monochrome paintings by James Rosenquist, highlighting a theme that the artist has explored throughout his phenomenal four-decade career but which had never before been presented either for exhibition or critical study.
From the Fifties style newspaper advertising imagery to his later encyclopedic panoramas, many of the artist's most powerful paintings have been essentially monochromatic.
Picasso 1921 - 1969April 29, 2005 - June 1, 2005

Picasso moved into in 1955.
