For Frieze Masters 2022 Tristan Hoare is delighted to present Early Works 1960s — 1990s, a selection of drawings by Pierre Le-Tan. This is the first exhibition the gallery will be presenting since Le-Tan's death in 2019, in collaboration with the family of Le-Tan. The aim is to continue the artist’s legacy and tell his story. With this in mind, we are presenting a group of his private drawings as well as his commercial work, including a rare group of studies for The New Yorker magazine, carefully curated by Le-Tan’s family.
Le-Tan’s artwork has appeared in museum exhibitions such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, D Museum in Seoul and the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco, as well as in books authored by his daughter Cleo Le-Tan. Tristan Hoare had the honour of hosting Le-Tan’s last major exhibition in the autumn of 2018 at the gallery in Fitzroy Square. We are delighted to be able to showcase Le-Tan’s works at Frieze Masters 2022, thus continuing his legacy and introducing wider audiences to his work.
