Our Artwork of the Month for January is "The Grand Canyon South Rim with Rail" by David Hockney. This striking color Polaroid composite is on view now until March 31 in "David Hockney: Perspective Should Be Reversed: Prints from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation."

Part of Palm Springs Art Museum’s permanent collection, this work captures Hockney’s innovative exploration of photography and memory.

"I took a lot of pictures of the Grand Canyon when I went there in the autumn of 1982 with David Graves and Ann Upton. I used a little Pentax camera. When I got back, I began to put them all together and I realized that this was a whole new area to explore. Because I hadn’t seen the image immediately – as I would have done if I’d used a Polaroid – I had to remember what I had done. Memory became an important part of the process.” – David Hockney

Our Artwork of the Month for December is "Sandoval Stool" by Ryan Preciado ().

Ryan's "Sandoval Stool" reimagines the work of Manuel Sandoval, a twentieth-century Nicaraguan-American carpenter and member of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin Fellowship. Sandoval’s craftsmanship shaped iconic projects like Wright’s V.C. Morris Shop in San Francisco.

This miniature architectural piece challenges the idea that furniture is merely ornamental, merging Wright’s linear forms with Sandoval’s purposeful interior designs.

"Sandoval Stool" is featured in "So Near, So Far"—the first solo museum exhibition of Los Angeles artist and designer Ryan Preciado. The show presents newly commissioned furniture, lighting, and sculpture inspired by Ryan’s dialogue with the story of Manuel Sandoval.

"So Near, So Far Ryan Preciado – Manuel Sandoval" is on view now through April 13, 2025, at Palm Springs Art Museum’s Architecture and Design Center, Edwards Harris Pavilion.

Plan your visit today using the link in our bio or at psmuseum.org.
