Published on the occasion of the twenty-five-year anniversary at David Zwirner, this book paints a picture of the gallery's growth and development through the lens of the artists that have shaped it.

Above all else, David Zwirner has been guided by its artist-centric ethos. In ambitious gallery shows at every location, the gallery's emphasis has been on artists and facilitating their vision.
