SEPTEMBER 5 - OCTOBER 19, 2019, HAUSER & WIRTH NEW YORK SHOWCASES OST AN EXHIBITION OF WORK BY JOHN CHAMBERLAIN, FEATURING A SELECTION OF SMALL-SCALE SCULPTURES FROM THE ARTIST’S BABY TYCOONS SERIES. BABY TYCOONS IS ONE OF SEVERAL SERIES OF MINIATURE WORKS THAT PUNCTUATES THE GRANDEUR AND FORMALISM OF CHAMBERLAIN’S LARGER SCULPTURAL PURSUITS. ALONGSIDE EARLIER SMALL-SCALE SERIES, THE BABY TYCOONS ARTICULATE THE INSTINCTUALLY PLAYFUL SPIRIT WITH WHICH CHAMBERLAIN APPROACHED MATERIAL AND PROCESS AT EVERY SCALE. MASTERFULLY MANIPULATED FROM AUTOMOBILE SCRAP-METALS, THE BABY TYCOONS POSSESS ALL THE COMPLEXITY AND POWER OF THEIR LARGER COUNTERPARTS. AS CHAMBERLAIN HIMSELF REMARKED, ‘IF THE SCALE IS DEALT WITH THEN THE SIZE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.’
