Palm Springs, February 19th, 2020 - Show Gallery, Contemporary Modernism Pop-Up Gallery, Carlos Antonio, the Rowan Hotel, and the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce are pleased to present the unveiling of the Infinite Trefoil sculpture by Richard X. Zawitz during Modernism Week. The sculpture is based on the mathematical theory of knots and the artist’s signature Infinity sculptures. The artist creates these works to emit positive energy into the surrounding environment. 

Over the course of his prodigious forty-year career, Richard X. Zawitz has become a significant force across visual art, design, and innovative fabrication processes. Driven by a passion for improving human potential, Zawitz has crisscrossed these disciplines through a deep exploration into how material creativity can transform experience. 

Born in Pittsburgh, Zawitz now shares his time between San Francisco and Hong Kong. Throughout his practice, Zawitz has looked to ancient Eastern cultures for examples of how to create a spiritual connection between form and meaning. Zawitz’ artwork has been showcased internationally in solo exhibitions and his work is held in private, public, and corporate collections internationally. Developed in the 1980s, the artist’s multiple, Tangle, has sold over 150 million editions to date. Research advanced through the Infinity series has proved significant to world-renowned astrophysicists and mathematicians, particularly those working in the fields of quantum entanglement, string theory, and knot theory. The artist’s aim is to monumentalize the Infinity series through public art.

Contemporary Modernism Pop-Up Gallery is a collaboration between Show Gallery and Carlos Antonio, that presents a curated exhibition of artwork, rugs, vintage furniture, objects, and sculpture. The first iteration of Contemporary Modernism was in Palm Springs in February-March 2019 and in Los Angeles at Show Gallery from July-September 2019.
