Haines proudly presents Andy Goldsworthy: For Olle, our 12th solo exhibition with the celebrated artist. For Olle is dedicated to Goldsworthy’s longtime friend and collaborator, San Francisco architect Olle Lundberg, whose recent passing informs the exhibition. Bringing together a suite of related photographic works and a white clay sculpture created for this presentation, the show offers an intimate reflection on materiality and memory, loss and renewal. Join us for the opening reception on Friday, May 8 from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM.

Goldsworthy has built an unparalleled reputation for works in various media that explore our relationship to the natural world. At the heart of the exhibition are three photographic diptychs from Fallen Elm (2009–present), an ongoing series documenting ephemeral works made in relation to a single, fallen elm tree near the artist’s home in Scotland. For nearly two decades, this tree has been the slow-changing site and subject of many of Goldsworthy’s ephemeral works, exploring its contours and gradual transformation. On view for the first time, the Fallen Elm works in For Olle features delicate yellowed elm leaves and grass stalks that Goldsworthy has arranged along the trunk of the fallen elm in various constellations: a line, screen, or starburst.
