NEW YORK, NY.- Matthew Marks Gallery presents Robert Gober: Sculpture, Photographs, and Works on Paper 1976–2019, an online survey featuring twenty works spanning four decades that focuses on some of the artist’s most iconic motifs. The show constitutes the gallery's first digital exhibition, and is now open to the public at MatthewMarks.com.

Since the 1970s Robert Gober has been exploring sexuality, politics, religion, and the natural world in meticulously handcrafted work. Early in his career The New York Times described his sculptures as “minimal forms with maximum content.” In Gober’s art even the most seemingly commonplace object — a shoe, an armchair, a bag of cat litter — contains multiple meanings and implications. The foundation of his practice is the physical act of making, which for Gober can entail learning a new craft, sourcing materials and knowledge, and enduring long periods of trial and error. While his work addresses universal themes of loss, longing, and acceptance, his personal experiences deeply inform his art, charging each work with an acute sense of intimacy.
