Celestial Mechanics: Form and Future in the Work of Gerhard Richter and Sean Scully is an extraordinary exhibition that pays homage to two of the most significant European painters of our time. Curated by esteemed art historian Joachim Pissarro, this groundbreaking exhibition will unfurl in conjunction with Art Basel Hong Kong over two venues: The Asia Society and Ben Brown Fine Arts, both in Hong Kong.

This exhibition will bring together a superlative selection of paintings and works on paper by Scully, thoughtfully selected from his studio to evoke dialogue with the legacy of Gerhard Richter’s oeuvre. Stellar examples from Richter’s diverse body of work will be featured, including abstract and photo paintings, overpainted photographs, and works on paper. Together, these visionary artists will ignite a previously uncharted dialogue that addresses their unique biographies and the artistic, political and ideological influences that led them to become two of the most influential and inimitable artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.
