METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART: SURREALISM BEYOND BORDERS

Ubu Gallery is pleased to take part in a new exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Surrealism Beyond Borders spans almost 80 years and 45 countries to trace the route of a revolutionary movement. Surrealism, typically viewed through a Western European lens, has been refocused in this exhibition through a global and international perspective. The show runs through January 30, 2022 at The Met 5th Avenue in Gallery 899. Further information can be found here.

Founded in 1994, Ubu Gallery has presented almost 100 exhibitions of 20th Century avant-garde art, with an emphasis on the inter-war period of the 1920s-1930s, particularly the Dada, Surrealist, and Constructivist movements. Ubu exhibits paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture, and ephemera (books, posters, graphic design, etc.) and, wherever possible, highlights the interrelationships among these art forms.

Ubu Gallery is a well-known presence on the international cultural scene and enjoys a worldwide reputation for its serious explorations of areas covered by few other galleries, including acclaimed survey exhibitions of Polish, Romanian and Czech avant-garde art. Ubu’s focus on the avant-garde, particularly on historically important artists and movements that have not received appropriate attention, has earned the gallery frequent reviews in press throughout the world focused on the visual arts. Ubu participates in the most important Parisian art fair, FIAC, held annually in the Grand Palais (2010-2016), and has participated significantly in Art Basel (2003–2011) and the encyclopedic Frieze Masters fair (2012–2015) showcasing the best of antiquities to modern art, in Regent's Park in London.
