Tomorrow, November 12, Petzel Gallery debuts five new oil paintings by Jorge Pardo (@jorgepardosculpture) at the 2026 ADAA Fair, Booth C1, with a Preview Gala ahead of the fair’s public opening on November 13. Combining digital collage, laser etching, and hand-painted elements, Pardo’s distinctive approach to painting produces vibrant, non-hierarchical compositions that the artist describes as “artworks to think with.” Rendered in oil pencil and gold leaf on engraved canvas, this latest body of work considers how we aesthetically perceive and emotionally sentimentalize painting.

Tschabalala Self’s “Tools of Worship” is on view now at Petzel. Across twelve new paintings, Self (@tschabalalaself) employs her signature assemblage approach to harness the poetic potential of her materials, creating figurative compositions imbued with a rich spiritual interiority. In “Sage,” 2026, contrasting sections of patterned textiles come together to construct the central figure. The character’s contorted posture introduces a sense of physical tension, with the torso facing the viewer while the legs turn away. The work’s title invokes sage’s associations with purification and renewal, connecting the figure to broader ideas of healing and transformation.

OPENING TODAY: James Little's (@jameslittleart) "Homage El Shabazz" opens today, November 5, at Petzel. The exhibition offers an in-depth look at a pivotal series in Little's oeuvre. Produced between 1985 and 1989, the works emerged during a period when questions of Black political identity, self-determination, and institutional power were central to cultural and political discourse—concerns that continue to resonate today.
The exhibition marks the largest presentation of the series since 1992, when six of the works were included in the Walker Art Center's "Malcolm X: Man, Ideal, Icon," curated by Dr. Kellie Jones. The series' title refers to Malcolm X, who adopted the name El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz following his pilgrimage to Mecca. In her essay for James Little's forthcoming monograph, Valerie Cassel Oliver (@casseloliver) describes the works as "rooted in memory and tribute," noting how Little employs abstraction as a means of understanding and processing the world around him.

OPENING TOMORROW: Tschabalala Self's (@tschabalalaself) "Tools of Worship" opens tomorrow November 5, presenting a selection of new paintings and the artist's first sculptures cast in concrete. The show marks Self's first exhibition with the gallery and is her first solo show in New York since 2020. This latest body of work is a mediation on corporeality and spirit that asks what it means to consider an artwork as something alive that can return the viewers’ gaze.
Self constructs her figures with found and repurposed textiles that bear associations, memories, and traces of prior use, ranging from scraps of old paintings, souvenirs from traveling, and fabrics from her late mother's collection. Rather than neutralizing those earlier lives and personal meanings, she harnesses their residual energy toward new ends.

Today is the last day to see Emily Mae Smith’s “Transit of Venus” and Ross Bleckner’s “Octopus” at Petzel. The gallery will be open from 10am–6pm.
Emily Mae Smith’s “Transit of Venus” brings together fifteen new paintings made between 2023 and 2026, showcasing the artist’s multifaceted approach to painting. Moving between realist depictions of the natural world, surrealist broomstick figures, and hard-edged compositions infused with satire and dark humor, the works explore questions of labor, class, and gender. Together, they consider what it means to hold a sense of self amid rising authoritarianism and the erosion of individual agency.
The six new large-scale paintings in Ross Bleckner’s “Octopus” extend the artist’s ongoing exploration of material, intuitive approaches to painting, and abstraction’s capacity to hold multiple feelings, meanings, and associations. Bleckner explains that show’s title references an octopus’s ability to change color, shape, and identity, suggesting the shifting nature of our thoughts.

“Tools of Worship,” Tschabalala Self's (@tschabalalaself) first exhibition at Petzel, opens next Thursday on November 5th, 2026. In a new feature for Family Style, Quinn Moreland writes: “Self’s work has always been connected to the body in action. ‘Movement speaks to agency,’ she says, noting that motion conveys the idea that viewers are catching a glimpse of the subject going about their life.” Describing her tactile approach to painting, Self states “I’m very aware of my own physicality while making a painting ... I am so invested in what is tangible—texture, material, and color—but I’m equally interested in what’s on the flip side.”

For the ADAA Fair, Petzel is pleased to present a solo booth of six new oil paintings by Mérida- and New York-based artist Jorge Pardo (@jorgepardosculpture), on view November 12–16, 2026. Pardo begins each work digitally, layering personal photographs with references drawn from art history until the original images become nearly unrecognizable. He then translates these compositions into paintings, where gestural marks and unexpected details bring new life to the images.

Ross Bleckner’s “Octopus” is now entering its final week at Petzel. The show’s six large scale paintings oscillate between observation and invention, drifting between representation and abstraction without settling in either category. Drawing on a wide range of visual sources, Bleckner uses found imagery as a point of departure for formal and material exploration. His 2026 painting, “The Dancers,” appropriates figures from Matisse, immersing their translucent bodies within sweeping gestures of paint.
In a recent article in the East Hampton Star, Bleckner states “I like the idea of using other artists’ paintings. I love using them as a jumping-off point ... I’m not a figurative painter but I’m trying to abstract it [and] create movement. It’s really about movement.”
