The pair’s galleries in Berlin, London, Los Angeles and New York continue to serve up intellectually robust fare. Queer avant-gardists Kenneth Anger (who died in May) and John Waters, subject of a vast show at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles (offering a deep-dive into his filmmaking process via costumes, handwritten scripts, props, photos and more), are both represented by the gallery – evidence of its commitment to showing mostly older and more established artists, who still have a bearing on the work of younger generations. Seemingly uninterested in the other frills that similar-sized galleries rush to offer (podcasts, inhouse magazines and so on), the focus instead is just on exhibitions: Jon Rafman showed at a temporary Sprüth Magers in Hangzhou in December and at the London gallery in February. Similarly mining the digital realm is Cao Fei, who premiered a new avatar at the Berlin mothership in April, with millennial angst already served up this year courtesy of Anne Imhof ’s show in the LA space in February.
