“In just over a decade, Pablo Villazán has established himself as one of the most influential figures in the contemporary art world. Often referred to as "the Midas of emerging art," Villazán has earned international recognition for his ability to discover, support, and elevate new voices on the global stage. The gallerist is known for his role in elevating artists through institutional partnerships and museum exhibitions.”

GROUP EXHIBITION: ANALOG 30th ANNIVERSARY EXHIBITION
The last line of the first press release issued for the first exhibition of ANTON KERN GALLERY reads “The work is a proposition” [Lothar Hempel]. It was September 1996. Fox News was launched by Rupert Murdoch one month later. Bill Clinton would be re-elected shortly afterwards. Shaquille O’Neal made his debut for the LA Lakers against the Phoenix Suns. The Spice Girls released their debut album, Spice. It went on to sell over 23 million copies. It was a different time. It was analog. Every exhibition felt like a proposition.
