Freedom 250 Hudson Yards and New Works from Mallorca

Dear Friends, Collectors and Gallery Partners. I hope you are having a great start to your summer!

I wanted to share a few exciting updates from the studio.

LOVE MATTERS... Everywhere BEAR at Hudson Yards, New York City

My 14-foot Love Matters Bear is currently installed beneath the iconic Vessel at Hudson Yards in Manhattan. The sculpture has become a destination for visitors from around the world and is now experiencing approximately 30,000 visitors per day. Seeing people engage with the work, photograph it, and share messages of love has been pretty awesome.

FREEDOM 250 - Art Museum of the Americas, Washington, D.C.

Early August I will participate in a museum show called Freedom 250 at the Art Museum of the Americas in Washington, D.C., commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States.

The VIP opening will take place at the museum on August 21st.

The exhibition will feature:• A monumental 22-foot Boonji Spaceman installation called Serve The Flag along Congressional Avenue.

A new large-scale 20 foot chalkboard painting exploring the spirit of our nation.

Needless to say I am proud to have the opportunity to celebrate the creative spirit of our nation and hopeful my work will bring people together.

New Rothko Circle Panels

I am introducing a new body of work: large-scale chromed circular panels inspired by the color relationships and emotional power of the late Mark Rothko.

Summer in Mallorca

As many of you know, I spend part of each year working from my studio in Mallorca, Spain.This summer I have devoted myself almost entirely to a new series of chalkboard paintings while also spending dedicated time with family and friends - before the mayhem begins.

Thank you, as always, for your support, friendship, and belief in my work. I look forward to sharing these new projects with you and hope to see many of you in Washington this August.

Lfg….
