This minimalist artwork features a solitary mint-green sphere placed against a muted, foggy background. The simple, spherical shape and soft, pastel hue create a sense of tranquility and introspection.

Thea Djordjadze was born in Tbilisi, Georgia, in 1971. She lives and works in Berlin.
At first glance, Thea Djordjadze’s sculptural assembles are not always readily identifiable as such; she often creates installations developed on site in response to the particular space or the context of an institution.

francesca kaufmann gallery opened in January 2000. Since then, the gallery has aimed to explore a diverse range of media, with a focus on video, site specific installation, and a special attention towards the works of female artists. After ten years in its historical location, the gallery opened in a new space in October 2010, under the name kaufmann repetto, to mark the partnership between Francesca Kaufmann and Chiara Repetto.

In 2013, the gallery inaugurated a new location in Chelsea, New York, with a parallel program to the gallery’s main space in Milan. In 2019 the New York location moved to Tribeca, expanding to a 3,000 sq ft exhibition space. The inaugural exhibition at the gallery’s new space in Tribeca was a solo show by Lily van der Stokker. ...
