Ross Bleckner emerged in the 1980s New York art scene, gaining recognition for his distinctive canvases that often incorporate repetition, blurring, and subtle layering of light and shadow. His work functions as poetic visual mourning, commemorating fleeting moments, fragility and impermanence. To this day, Bleckner is the youngest artist to receive a retrospective at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, at the age of 45.

His work will be presented in the solo exhibition Still in Bloom at Amanyangyun, Shanghai (9 November – 31 December 2026).

The artist’s recent exhibitions include Neues Museum Nuremberg; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin; Museo Reina Sofía, Madrid; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Kunstmuseum Luzern; and Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern.

Bleckner’s paintings can be found in numerous major museum collections, such as The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Museum Boymans-van Beuningen, Rotterdam; Astrup Fearnley Collection, Oslo; Goetz Collection, Munich; Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid; Museo Reina Sofía, Madrid; and Brooklyn Museum, New York.
