Art Basel Paris - Jill Magid

For the 2024 edition of Art Basel Paris, Labor is pleased to present the work of American artist Jill Magid, at booth H8 in the South Galleries section, in which we are proud to participate for the first year in the fair's grand return to the Grand Palais.


For this solo show, Labor will be showing Jill Magid’s neon sculptures and drawings, depicting the mathematical formula of a growth model called the Richards Function, specially devised to maximize the stem length of certain flowers, and thus its value. Magid exhibits her mathematical proofs vertically, as neon flowers that stand at the same height that the formula would ideally generate. In doing so, her work visualizes the overlapping interests of beauty, science, and commerce, and the role that prediction and visualization play in the circulation value.


We hope to see you in Paris!
