Lisson Gallery Announces Rodney Graham Exhibition and Publication Featuring Text by Max Porter
On February 19, 2026, Lisson Gallery published 'Rodney Graham: Trees' by Max Porter to mark the exhibition 'Rodney Graham: Who does not love a tree?'. The show is Rodney Graham’s 15th with the gallery and presents two bodies of work on trees: large-format photographs of upside-down Oxfordshire Oaks made in 1990 and the two-screen video installation Edge of a Wood from 1999. The publication includes an essay by Porter and is edited by Ossian Ward with design by Zoë Anspach.
The Signal
The release of the Porter text alongside the exhibition underscores Lisson’s continued commitment to documenting Graham’s career after his death, providing collectors and institutions with primary interpretive material on his late-period engagement with landscape. For curators and scholars, the pairing of the 1990 photographs and 1999 video offers a concise view of the artist’s sustained formal and thematic interest in trees across two decades, potentially informing acquisition and display decisions for similar works.
