Haze of Glory

An otherworldly new show by Gen Z surrealist Sasha Gordon, at David Zwirner, offers all the elements for success: hypnotic new works, and a compelling personal narrative, that are on trend but entirely new.

Surrealism has become such a selling point these days that almost anything vaguely uncanny can be pitched as surreal, but Sasha Gordon’s work really does hit the key themes of an unconscious counternarrative to everyday life. Photo: Jason Schmidt/Courtesy of Matthew Brown and David Zwirner

When I walked into David Zwirner’s gallery last Thursday night for the opening of Sasha Gordon’s new show, Haze, I was struck by not only the size of the crowd, but also its intensity. “The opening was packed,” Marlene Zwirner, a senior director at the gallery, told me via email today. The combination of Zwirner’s regular audience and Gordon’s Instagram following and fans meant there was a line around the block to get into the gallery by 7 p.m. “We haven’t seen anything like this since our last Kusama exhibition,” Zwirner said.
