Andy Goldsworthy: Andy Goldsworthy: For Olle

Haines Gallery San Francisco · Union Square

Exhibition on view: May 8, 2026 - Jul 3, 2026

For Olle is an exhibition of new works by Andy Goldsworthy dedicated to his longtime friend and collaborator Olle Lundberg. The exhibition brings together a suite of photographic works and a clay sculpture, offering an intimate reflection on materiality and memory, loss and renewal. At the heart of the show are three photographic diptychs from Goldsworthy's Fallen Elm series documenting ephemeral works made in relation to a fallen elm tree near his home in Scotland. Complementing these photographs is a new sculpture comprising a tabletop coated in white clay that develops natural patterns of cracks and fissures as it dries over the duration of the exhibition.
