Cady Noland opens an exhibition of new work at Gagosian’s Davies Street gallery in London on Monday 12 October 2026, running through 19 December 2026. The Mayfair show coincides with Gagosian’s relaunch of The Clip-On Method, Noland’s two-volume, 600-page artist’s book first published in 2021. Special opening-day hours are Monday 12 October, 10am–8pm; regular hours after that are Tuesday–Saturday, 10am–6pm.

The gallery sits in Mayfair, a short walk from Bond Street station. No ticket is required for a standard Gagosian viewing unless the gallery later posts a timed system — check gagosian.com before you go.
What the show and the book do
Gagosian’s announcement frames the exhibition as new work by Noland, the American artist known for sculptures and installations that dissect American mythology, power, celebrity, media and violence. In parallel, the gallery is relaunching The Clip-On Method, conceived, edited and designed by Noland: a nonlinear archive that mixes extensive photographic documentation of her sculptures and installations with sociological, political and historical texts, plus her own writings. That includes the 1989 essay “Towards a Metalanguage of Evil,” which the gallery notes still resonates.
The book functions as an artwork in its own right and as a comprehensive visual record of roughly four decades of practice. Visitors who cannot see every historical installation in person get a dense surrogate; visitors who can see the Davies Street show get the live objects plus the printed archive.
Why publish the day before opening
12 October is tomorrow. ADVANCE guides for major London gallery openings perform best when they land 24–72 hours out with hard dates, address and hours — the queries people actually type (“Cady Noland Gagosian”, “Cady Noland London 2026”, “Davies Street exhibition”). The show also overlaps Frieze week without being a fair presentation, so it gives collectors and publics a Mayfair destination distinct from The Regent’s Park tents.
Cluster links — London art week without twinning Frieze
Use https://www.thesundayprofile.com/frieze-london-2026 for the fair itself. For other London autumn Art exhibitions already live, see https://www.thesundayprofile.com/michael-landy-future-ruins-2026 (Sir John Soane’s Museum) and https://www.thesundayprofile.com/tate-britain-the-90s-2026. Cindy Sherman’s Fabric Matrons at Hauser & Wirth (13 Oct–23 Dec) is a same-week Savile Row peer covered separately in this batch — different artist, different gallery, different thesis.
People also ask: is The Clip-On Method new?
The book was first published in 2021. Gagosian is relaunching it alongside the 2026 Davies Street exhibition of new work, not claiming a brand-new first edition.
Cover note
No rights-safe recent portrait of Cady Noland was available for this cover. The thumbnail uses a real Davies Street / Mayfair photograph with a typographic Gagosian wordmark — photoreal, no AI face (`cover_person_photo: unavailable`).
Practical tip for Frieze week visitors
If you are already walking Mayfair between Frieze Sculpture in The Regent’s Park and Savile Row gallery stops, Davies Street is a natural add-on on opening Monday (10am–8pm) before fair public hours ramp mid-week. Noland’s work rewards slow looking; budget more than a five-minute pop-in, especially if you plan to spend time with *The Clip-On Method* volumes in the gallery book display.
Press contacts listed by Gagosian for the show include the gallery’s London press desk and Bolton & Quinn — useful if you are a journalist seeking images, not required for a public visit.
