While in NYC for , auctions, and gallerie openings in May, had the opportunity to visit with two incredible artists. We did a studio visit with , and we went to a book signing hosted by for at a private residence. It is important to be able to hear from artists about their work in their own words, and both of these artists incorporate intricate detail and layer upon layer of meaning in all the work they create.

Known for his provocative interventions into Western European and American art history, (Canadian, b. 1965) explores themes of colonization, sexuality, loss, and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Indigenous experiences—across painting, film/video, performance, and installation. Monkman’s gender-fluid alter ego Miss Chief Eagle Testickle often appears in his work as a time-travelling, shape-shifting, supernatural being who reverses the colonial gaze to challenge received notions of history and Indigenous peoples. is a member of ocêkwi sîpiy (Fisher River Cree Nation) in Treaty 5 Territory (Manitoba, Canada), he lives and works between New York City and Toronto.

’s (American, b. 1950) works on paper are a complex melange of materials and mediums, which can include acrylic and gouache paint, graphite drawing, rubber stampings, color copier transfers, transfers from magazine illustrations and fruit labels, linoleum block printings, and ink drawings. Hammond derives her images from a multitude of interests. As she works, seemingly dissimilar elements begin to trigger associations.

builds bespoke art collections for our clients that align with the mission, vision, and values of each project, place, and space. The campus is also a 300-acre arboretum, home to over 6,000 trees and shrubs representing more than 190 plant species.

As part of our program for Kirkland Hall, we invited artist to create a pair of site-responsive paintings for the building. This video captures Sam’s time on campus making the paintings outside the building where they now reside.

In fact, time and mortality are the metaphorical undercurrent of his subject matter. Originally working with photography, Falls abandoned the medium-specific tools such as the camera, film, and printing over a decade ago to work more intimately with the conceptual precepts of photography – time, exposure, and representation.

Known for his site-specific, durational works that engage nature as both medium and subject, Falls creates artworks that serve as primary sources of prolonged exposure to the atmosphere and environment, bridging the gap between artistic production and the viewer of the finished piece and carrying the ecology of a place and the history of its experience.

’ fourth solo exhibition , “Amongst the Living,” brings together a new body of work that incorporates painting, ceramics, and photography. In the exhibition, Falls returns to traditional photography, integrating it with his idiosyncratic processes for painting and sculpture, developed through working with the environment en plein air, and expands and collapses the media together. On display through 30 May 2026.

Paul Villinski has been creating studio and large-scale artworks for over three decades. A pilot of sailplanes, paragliders, and single-engine airplanes, he often uses metaphors of flight and soaring in his work. He explains, “Much of my work has wings of one sort or another. As an ‘Air Force brat,’ I grew up surrounded by planes and pilots with clouds in their eyes, and eventually got my own license to fly. I can't glance out the window without studying the sky and wishing I were in it. I'm not alone in this: from Leonardo to Lindbergh to Lenny Kravitz, the desire to "fly away" has had a grip on our collective imagination for millennia.”

Villinski has also had a lifelong passion for environmental issues. His art often reuses discarded materials, resulting in surprising and poetic transformations. This custom installation for historic Kirkland Hall features different species of birds made from LPs by musicians connected to Nashville. The artist aimed to create a piece that celebrates Nashville’s renowned and storied role in music.

Paul’s work with LP records mainly revolves around the ideas and efforts of musical artists sharing their work with the world, spreading influence and inspiration like migrating birds carried by the wind. It’s about how music, and by extension all art, can connect us, comfort us, shape us, and transform us in small and big ways – in ways its creators may never even imagine.

Over the last 18 months, Art Strategies curated and installed an art program in Rowling Hall for the . We worked closely with a small, dynamic curatorial committee under the leadership of Lillian Mills, the school's first female Dean in its 100-year history, and Caitlin Mullaney, the school's Associate Dean and Chief Operating Officer. With a generous gift from Carolyn and Preston (UT '62) Butcher, we installed 71 artworks by 23 local, national, and internationally recognized artists in public spaces and study rooms throughout the building.

Anchoring the collection is a monumental, site-responsive installation commissioned for the five-story atrium. The cloud-like form by artist Jacob Hashimoto is designed to be viewed from all sides, with each perspective offering a unique experience of the 47 foot sculpture made from over 5,000 paper kites. The piece interacts with all the artworks hanging in the building's public spaces by some of the finest artists of the 20th Century, like , Sol LeWitt, Julian Opie, and Robert Rauschenberg (b. Port Arthur, TX), as well as important artists working today, including and Michalene Thomas. We also brought in art by some of Austin's best and brightest talent to round out the collection.

Last week, launched a series of articles about the collection. We are proud of the work we've done with our incredible colleagues at the school, and thrilled to see it come to life in this way. Check out our website for images of the building, as well as links from UT [links in bio] for more about the art and artists in the collection. Hook 'em! 🤘🧡AS

When -strategies was in NYC last month we were thrilled to see the new facade commissions by artist . Jeffrey Gibson’s work is visually captivating and sparks important conversations about our responsibility to the planet and its living beings.

"The Animal That Therefore I Am," features four unique sculptures that invite viewers to reflect on the deep interconnectedness between all life and the environment.

This momentous body of work explores the relationship between humans and nature, embodying the essence of Gibson's artistic philosophy. Through his intricate designs and thoughtful composition, Gibson encourages a dialogue on how we coexist with our natural surroundings.

New York will present the Jean and Terry de Gunzburg collection on 22 April, a landmark trove of art and design expected to achieve as much as $43 million.

Drawn largely from the couple’s New York apartment, decorated by Jacques Granges in a style described as New York on the outside, Paris on the inside, the collection reflects decades of collecting across five homes and a museum-worthy dedication to art and design. Sotheby’s chairman Jodi Pollack described it as one of the most significant and visionary assemblages of French design ever to come to auction.

Highlights include Lalanne mirrors with a high estimate of $15 million, joined by design rarities approaching the $1 million mark: a shagreen-clad cabinet by André Groult, mahogany cabinets by Alexandre Noll, and striped sideboards in ash, walnut and ebony veneer by Jean Royère. A parallel sale will also bring works by Mark Rothko, Pablo Picasso, Agnes Martin and Paul Klee to the block.

Arriving at an unprecedented moment for collectible design, following Sotheby’s $60 million design week at its Marcel Breuer-designed New York headquarters, the auction signals both market momentum and a personal transition, with proceeds shared among the de Gunzburg family and directed towards charitable causes. The sale ultimately positions the de Gunzburg collection as both a defining moment in collectible design and a generational transition, arriving at a time when the market continues to demonstrate unprecedented appetite for rare twentieth-century pieces.

While in NYC last week we were able to catch another incredible exhibition ’s Tribeca gallery space. 'In the Guts of the Living', is an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by Elizabeth Neel, the artist’s first solo presentation with the gallery. Taking the historic, beaux-arts architectural features of the gallery’s exhibition space as a point of reference, Neel has continued to expand her formal approach and representational language, resulting in works that express the tension between control and chaos particular to our moment in history.

Titled after a verse in W.H. Auden’s poem ‘In Memory of W. B. Yeats’ (1939), In the Guts of the Living explores the historical process of influence, rumination and expression, whereby the ideas and forms of our predecessors are constantly remade by our attempts at making sense of the time at hand. Neel’s paintings dramatize this process by invoking familiar representational systems—from the scientific to the psychological—before transforming them within her precisely calibrated compositions, where a delicate balance between order and disorder, density and spaciousness, plays out.

Elizabeth Neel (American b. 1975 Stowe, VT) is known for her abstract painting practice that merges diverse mark-making techniques with explorations of perception, knowledge and the psychological resonance of natural forms. Over the past two decades, she has developed a distinct form of abstraction that navigates the tension between control and chaos, often working with raw canvas, vivid pigments, and an array of tools and methods, including brushes, rags, rollers, and mono printing techniques. In her compositions, color, movement and form possess their own objecthood while at the same time serving as vehicles for earthly metaphor and poetic suggestion.

Central to Neel’s practice is an active engagement with the world around her. She draws from a wide range of visual and historical sources—from x-rays and biological diagrams to architectural plans and medieval imagery—which she metabolizes into layered, emotionally charged compositions.

was in NYC last week, and we headed right to the to see 'Carol Bove', the first museum survey of the work of Carol Bove (b. 1971, Geneva, Switzerland; lives and works in New York). The exhibition traces pivotal shifts in the artist’s 25-year career. Bove’s inventive practice ranges widely, from assemblages of paperback books and intimate paper collages to towering steel sculptures. She explores the workings of perception through ongoing experiments with surface, color, scale, and space, inviting viewers into moments of heightened imaginative awareness.

The Frank Lloyd Wright–designed rotunda provides a resonant setting for Bove’s long-standing interest in exploring the relationship between objects and their environment. She treats the building as a sculpture in its own right, subtly emphasizing its unique geometries and open sight lines, which allow artworks to stay visually connected across different levels. Throughout the exhibition, she has included spaces for rest, reflection, and play. These feature comfortable seating integrated into the architecture, a tactile library where visitors can handle materials from the artist’s studio directly, and artist-created chess tables inviting visitors to play a game.

Reflecting Bove’s interest in the way artistic languages are exchanged and transformed over generations, works by other artists appear at times alongside her own. Notably, she partially reveals—for the first time in decades—a mural by Joan Miró and Josep Llorens Artigas that was built into the Guggenheim’s ramps in the 1960s. A diamond-shaped cutout offers a view of the mural, which becomes an element in Bove’s immersive reimagining of Frank Lloyd Wright’s luminous “temple of spirit.”

The exhibition was organized by , Daskalopoulos Senior Curator of Contemporary Art and Director of Global Initiatives

Happy Valentine's Day 🖤🖤🖤! Many of you know is based in Indiana. We would be remiss to celebrate this ♥️ holiday and not talk about Robert Indiana. Since the 1970s, his LOVE image has appeared everywhere - on sculptures, stamps, and swag. But who is the mind behind it?

It’s curious to think that Robert Indiana’s LOVE, so bright and iconic, started out as a simple MoMA holiday postcard in 1965. What you don’t see right away is the emotion behind it. The american pop artist made it after his relationship with Ellsworth Kelly had ended, and you can almost feel that history in the tilted O and the bold (Kelly’s) colors.

It’s funny how something so clean and graphic can come from such a messy, human place. Four letters that somehow hold both joy and heartbreak at the same time. LOVE is longing, memory, and the beautiful yet complex side of human connection.

Even the most iconic images can carry deeply personal stories, and love itself is never just one thing, but at its heart, LOVE reminds us of hope, resilience, and the joy that keeps coming back.
