Amie Siegel Winter

Working variously across film, video, performance, photography, and sound, Amie Siegel (Chicago, 1974) exposes and connects multiple strata of meaning in her meticulously crafted installations. While narratives operate as sites, artifacts and documents emerge as material tokens of memory, desire, and fact, and film is often confronted with the circumstances and protocols of its own making.

The Collection Of Hermann And Margrit Rupf

The Rupfs were the first private Swiss collectors to occupy themselves with abstract art.

Sigh Sam Taylor-johnson

Since the 1990s, the photographs and video installations of British artist Sam Taylor-Johnson have explored the rawest human emotions, isolating and presenting them in fragmented ways by either deconstructing the narrative or, as in her work Sigh (2008), altering our perception of image and sound.

In 1978, at age 50, Andy Warhol embarked upon the production of a monumental body of work titled Shadows with the assistance of his entourage at the Factory. Conceived as one painting in multiple parts, with the final number of canvases being determined by the dimensions of an exhibition space, these 102 silkscreened canvas panels formalized the artist’s earlier explorations of abstraction.
