Moon Voyage — David Zwirner

“Moon Voyage” was Frank Walter’s fourth solo exhibition with David Zwirner and the gallery’s first dedicated presentation of his work in Paris, organized in close collaboration with art historian Barbara Paca and the Walter family. The show took its title from a painting in Walter’s Milky Way Galaxy series, a body of work built around his fascination with outer space, extraterrestrial life, and the mysteries of the cosmos, and brought together paintings, works on paper, and archival ephemera spanning the full range of his practice.

A dedicated wall of Walter’s signature Polaroid paintings, miniature landscapes painted onto discarded Polaroid film packaging, anchored the exhibition alongside historical material from his archive. Installation photography and exhibition documentation for the show were produced in support of the gallery’s presentation, which coincided with Walter’s inclusion in a major group exhibition at Centre Pompidou-Metz and followed his institutional solo shows at The Drawing Center and the Garden Museum.
