In London, Luxembourg + Co. will present the first retrospective exhibition of Joe Ray to be held outside of the United States. Joe Ray: Space Race opens October 14 and will be on view through December 13, 2025 at their Savile Row gallery.
Space Race will showcase a comprehensive body work through Joe Ray's career and will span across the gallery's London space and Frieze Masters art fair and will be accompanied by a new monographic book featuring essays by Darby English, Ed Schad, and Yuval Etgar.
Through the lens of Ray's ongoing and evolving practice, Space Race pays tribute to Ray's fundamentally humanistic and unique interpretation of light and space as a formal expression of a social reality.
An important protagonist in the story of the Los Angeles art scene for over fifty-five years, Joe Ray's paintings, sculpture, and photographs have been exhibited at MOCA, LACMA, The Broad, SFMOMA, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH), the Contemporary Art Center New Orleans (CACNO), and the Long Beach Museum of Art. His work is in the permanent collections of LACMA, The Broad, The AÏSHTI Foundation, and the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art (NEHMA), among others.
