Foam, digitally printed silk jacquard, indigo dyed denim, nylon thread, metal fixings, stainless steel
42 ½ x 37 ⅘ x 1 7/10 inches
Kindly donated by the artist and kaufmann repetto Milan / New York
Hamilton is currently exhibiting in the Aspen Art Museum Commons with a monumental aluminum cauliflower functioning as sundial, which juxtaposes natural imagery and manufactured materiality. This recurring theme in Hamilton’s practice is celebrated in Chopped Monarch (G): a fabric and steel piece suspended by an air of humor and lightness, exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 2019.

Jimmy Wright
Red Sunflower No. 1, 2026
Oil on canvas
10 x 8 inches
Kindly donated by the artist
Jimmy Wright is an amazing artist and one of the closest friendships I have formed during my time researching the work of the late Arch Connelly. In their delicate beauty, Wright’s sunflower works are more than flowers: they are evocative explorations of emotion, in connection to love, mourning, joy, and stillness. I am thrilled that Wright’s floral paintings will be the subject of a solo exhibition at Thomas Dane Gallery in London this September.

Catherine Opie
Untitled #6 (Norway Mountain) Ed. of 5 + 2 AP Signed verso, 2024
Pigment print
78 ½ x 59 ½ x 2 inches (framed)
Kindly donated by Catherine Opie, courtesy Regen Projects, Los Angeles
I love Opie’s work for the way it uses scale and architecture as both subjects and tools. This piece’s imponent height of 78 ½ inches brings a sense of sublime and physical awe to our encounter with the image. Shot by the artist during a road trip in the Nordic territory, Untitled #6 (Norway Mountain) functions more as a portrait than a traditional landscape view.

Cary Kwok
A Chapter – Spring, 2025
Acrylic and ink on paper
14 ⅗ x 11 1/10 x 1 ⅗ inches (framed)
Kindly donated by Herald St
Kwok has mastered a distinctive technique with acrylic and ink on paper. Working at an intimate scale, his cinematic subjects are meticulously detailed, ranging from period fashions and still lifes to homoerotica. Dramatic staging and light animate and amplify his representations and their imagined narrative—such as this lonely rose placed under a spotlight, blossomed but on the verge of decay
