Tourné has collaborated with museums and arts institutions around the world to curate exhibitions, support acquisitions, and manage the participation of artists under the gallery’s representation in shows and public art installations. Here we highlight a recent selection of museum and institutional exhibitions as well as public installations in which the artists represented by Tourné have been featured.
SAVE ART SPACE
Cristina Vergano’s surrealist painting, I Dreamed of a Landscape, was selected by curators Paige Beeber and Sarah Stolar for inclusion in New/New, a public art installation on billboard ad space in New Mexico and New York. The exhibition, presented by SaveArtSpace in collaboration with the University of New Mexico-Taos Art Department and See You Next Thursday, went on view on January 10, 2025. Vergano’s artwork will appear on billboard space in Albuquerque, New Mexico, while artwork by Melissa Lind will appear on billboard space in Brooklyn, New York.
For New/New, artists were invited to interpret the theme of "Transcendental Landscapes,” encompassing both the metaphysical and physical. The exhibition seeks to uncover the diverse ways in which landscape and place—real or imagined, external, or internal—serve as powerful vessels for transcendence and discovery.
LESLIE-LOHMAN MUSEUM OF ART
Llanor Alleyne’s large-scale mixed media work, Another Poem, was included in the exhibition, The Plural of He, at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art in New York. The exhibition, curated by Andil Gosine, was dedicated to the life and work of Colin Robinson, the Trinidadian American poet, critic, and social justice advocate. Alleyne was one of five artists selected in 2022 for a residency at the Leslie-Lohman Museum. The Museum commissioned works by Alleyne, Leasho Johnson, Ada M. Patterson, Devan Shimoyama, and Natalie Wood, which were exhibited in The Plural of He alongside archival objects and which respond to letters, poems, newspaper columns, and other records of Robinson’s personal history. Additional works by Richard Fung and amber williams-king were also on display.
The exhibition ran from March 15, 2024 through July 21, 2024. The exhibition catalogue featured Alleyne's Another Poem on the cover.
MUSEO EMILIO CARAFFA
In 2024, Virginia Derqui had a solo exhibition, La forma-espacio, at Museo Emilio Caraffa in Córdoba, Argentina. Curated by Maria Cristina Rossi, the exhibition featured eight of Derqui’s large-format, duochromatic paintings from her Alumbramiento series.
The exhibition opened March 13, 2024 and ran through June 30, 2024.
MUSEO D'ARTE E SCIENZA
“An event where, synesthetically, beauty adds to beauty.”
-Andrea Pompili, Graphie
Tourné curated a solo exhibition of works by Madalena Negrone, which opened at Milan’s Museum of Art and Science in June 2023. The exhibition included recent works from the artist’s Entangled series, which offers a visual representation of quantum entanglement and the ways in which all beings are interconnected at a subatomic level.
During the opening reception, a multimedia work of art created by Negrone in collaboration with the world-renowned songwriter Alberto Bof was unveiled to the public. Inspired by Negrone’s Entangled series, Bof composed a piano score to accompany digitized imagery and video of Negrone’s paintings and performed live on a Zanta piano at the Museum of Art and Science. The exhibition received critical acclaim in Graphie magazine.
GROUNDS FOR SCULPTURE
Three large-scale works by Strong-Cuevas are part of the Grounds for Sculpture permanent collection.
During the Night Forms: dreamloop exhibition, which ran from November 26, 2021 to April 3, 2022, and Night Forms: Infinite Wave exhibition from November 24, 2023 to April 7, 2024, Strong-Cuevas's sculpture—and that of other prominent artists—was illuminated by Klip Collective in a special after-hours, multi-sensory light and sound experience. The exhibitions were featured in The New York Times, PBS, Barron's, and many other outlets.
SOUTHAMPTON ARTS CENTER
Strong-Cuevas's works were on view at the Southampton Arts Center from July 30, 2022 through September 24, 2022 as part of Figures Transformed. Curated by Christina Strassfield, Figures Transformed showcased the works of three artists from different generations—Deborah Buck, Hal Buckner, and Strong-Cuevas—all of whom use the figure as central imagery in their work.
For Strong-Cuevas, the head is a recurring motif in her sculpture and drawings and represents the artist’s exploration of inner consciousness and communication through space and time.
THE LEIBER COLLECTION
In 2021, Tourné, in partnership with The Leiber Collection and Sculpture Garden, hosted Centennial Legacy, a series of exhibitions celebrating the artistic legacy of Gerson and Judith Leiber on what would have been their 100th year on earth. The first exhibition opened in May at The Leiber Collection in Springs, NY. A second exhibition opened in June at Tourné’s collaborative showroom in Tribeca, and the third exhibition in the series opened in September at Colm Rowan Fine Art in East Hampton, NY.
Centennial Legacy showcased a rarely seen collection of oil paintings by American Abstract Expressionist painter Gerson Leiber, including some of the last works completed during the artist’s lifetime. The oil paintings were shown alongside precious minaudières—each a work of art in its own right—by world-renowned designer Judith Leiber. The exhibition was featured on the Nasdaq billboard in Times Square.
