An Unexpected Spring” (“un Printemps Inattendu”), the title of a book by  Etel Adnan recently published by Galerie Lelong & Co., gathers  interviews of the Lebanese-American poet and artist from the past  decades.  The title refers in Adnan’s own words to the mystery of poetic  creation, but now also echoes how the current global pandemic has  brought so much uncertainty to our lives.  As much of the world’s  population remains in their homes, our artists have used this period to  further investigate their practices during these extraordinary times.   In March from his house in Normandy, David Hockney said "Do remember  they can't cancel the Spring" in an iPad drawing he shared with the  National Portrait Gallery in London.  This expression of hope  immediately spread through the many social networks that we have always  used for connection but now more so than just four months ago.  Leonardo  Drew, who lives above his studio, continues to make work that plays  upon a tension between order and chaos.  These two descriptive words  embody a sentiment many of us currently feel as we orderly follow  guidelines to a safer future while wondering when the chaos will end.   Spring can't be cancelled, and artists can't stop creating.  We are  proud to show here a selection of works, some of them recently  completed, that we wish could be on view at Art Basel.
