Robert Gober: Cows at a Pond, September 7th through October 21st, is an exhibition of art, personal objects, and ephemera from the artist's collection, presented by Demisch Danant. In 2019, Gober and his partner Donald Moffett took part in the gallery’s exhibition A Specific Eye: Seven Collections, which presented seven personal collections of aesthetic objects, on loan from celebrated New York connoisseurs and members of the gallery’s extended circle. Four years later and as a follow up to their initial collaboration, Suzanne Demisch renewed the invitation to her longtime friends and gave them carte blanche to reimagine the gallery space. This time Moffett demurred, but for Gober the timing was right.
Robert Gober: Cows at a Pond, is a continuation of the gallery's ongoing exhibition program centered around the art of collecting. This series – which encompasses shows, publications, and panel discussions – delves into the nuances of connoisseurship, the transformative journey from 'buyer' to 'collector', and the impact of obsession, research, taste, and personal narratives on shaping collections.

About
Demisch Danant
Demisch Danant was founded in 2005 by Suzanne Demisch and Stephane Danant. The gallery specializes in twentieth-century French design with an emphasis on the late 1950s through the 1970s and represents the work of Maria Pergay, Pierre Paulin, Jacques Dumond, Joseph-André Motte, Pierre Guariche, Michel Boyer, Antoine Philippon & Jacqueline Lecoq and René-Jean Caillette. Curated exhibitions on historical work are presented within environments that reference architecture and interiors of the era. Demisch Danant is dedicated to research and scholarship on French design and has published and authored monographs including Antoine Philippon and Jacqueline Lecoq, Maria Pergay: Complete Works 1957-2010, Maria Pergay by François Halard, and Maria Pergay: Sketch Book.
