Kevin Beasley limited edition prints inspired by Storm King show artwork
New Kevin Beasley limited edition prints reference his critically acclaimed Storm King show.
Kevin Beasley, a multifaceted contemporary artist known for his innovative blend of sculpture, sound, and performance, presents his largest and most ambitious installation yet at Storm King Art Center in New York’s Hudson Valley. Titled PROSCENIUM | Rebirth/Growth: The Watch / Harvest / Dormancy: On Reflection, the expansive work spans 100 feet and explores the cycles of the seasons through four triptychs made of vintage clothing and natural elements encased in resin. Drawing inspiration from World War II acoustic mirrors, Beasley’s curved installation engages with sound and landscape, amplifying environmental noises and inviting viewers into a sensory dialogue between history, identity, and the land. Complementing the show, a limited edition series of four intricate prints was created using tactile materials and traditional screen printing techniques, capturing the essence of his evolving practice and communal approach to art-making.

Nicole Wittenberg Rough 1 painting vibrant abstract art colorful brushstrokes
‘When I'm looking at the flowers, they almost feel like moving jewelry.’ Nicole Wittenberg on her new edition Golden Rod and Queen Anne’s Lace, 2025
Nicole Wittenberg, known for her evocative reinvention of realism, finds profound inspiration in the rural landscapes of Maine, where her studio—a repurposed former government factory—serves as a sanctuary away from the urban rhythm of New York. Her new silkscreen edition, *Goldenrod and Queen Anne’s Lace, 2025*, captures the vibrant, fleeting beauty of wildflowers through layered strokes and gestural mark-making that evoke the immediacy and sensuality of being immersed in nature. Drawing en plein air, Wittenberg embraces chance and movement, translating the dynamic qualities of light, wind, and growth into a vivid, almost abstracted floral composition that speaks to her desire to stop thinking and truly see. The edition, accompanied by a signed monograph, coincides with three summer exhibitions and underscores her ongoing exploration of emotional expression and the spontaneous sensations found in the natural world, firmly rooting her practice in the tension between observation, memory, and feeling.

the story behind william monks new lithograph mount atom 2025 artwork image
The story behind William Monk’s new lithograph, Mount Atom, 2025
William Monk’s art captivates with its striking contrasts and poetic gestures, inviting viewers into a liminal space between vision and feeling, memory and dream. His improvisational process often revisits a single image through multiple iterations, turning painting into a contemplative ritual akin to a mantra. His latest limited edition lithograph, Mount Atom, 2025, exemplifies this approach, presenting a surreal, glowing coral form above a textured mound, crafted through intricate layers that evoke timelessness and otherworldliness. With a career marked by prestigious exhibitions worldwide and recognition for his psychologically charged works, Monk shares insights into his creative trance-like process, the significance of visual scale and placement, and the intimate dialogue between paintings within his studio and exhibitions. Mount Atom, 2025, paired with Phaidon’s first comprehensive monograph on Monk, offers a rare, intimate encounter with his evolving oeuvre.

Jim Hodges artwork meditation opportunity for connection colorful abstract installation
Jim Hodges – ‘The artwork is an opportunity for connection. It was conceived as a meditation and a celebration to honor the beauty we share.’
Jim Hodges captivates with his ability to infuse everyday objects with profound emotion and narrative, blending drawing and sculpture through humble materials transformed to evoke memory and imagination. His new edition, *with you, 2024*, created for the TWO x TWO for AIDS Art Gala, features two elegant vessels—one basalt stone, one cast glass—set on a walnut pedestal, designed to be completed and continually reborn through the ritual of adding fresh flowers. This work reflects themes of impermanence, renewal, and connection, inviting owners to participate actively in its life and meaning. Hodges’s use of contrasting natural and crafted materials speaks to timeless artistic traditions while celebrating collaboration and care. Known for deeply contemplative, beautiful works exhibited worldwide, Hodges sees art as an invitation to slow down, reflect, and experience the transformative power of relationships and generosity.

Patricia Cronin talks about Harriet Hosmer, the inspiration behind her new series of prints
Patricia Cronin’s art boldly intertwines classical techniques with urgent contemporary issues, exploring themes of feminism, LGBTQ+ rights, and social justice through oil painting, sculpture, and printmaking. Renowned for her groundbreaking work like the groundbreaking "Memorial To A Marriage," a marble sculpture advocating marriage equality, Cronin channels her deep research and conceptual rigor into projects such as her recent series inspired by 19th-century sculptor Harriet Hosmer. By creating a unique catalogue raisonné combining hand-painted images and historical scholarship, Cronin not only revives Hosmer’s legacy but also critiques the underrepresentation of women artists. With a fearless commitment to activism, Cronin’s work challenges the status quo, inspiring both audiences and students to envision a world where art carries the power to confront injustice and reshape cultural narratives.

Paired with Harvey’s new book *Emerald Drifters*, the edition invites audiences to embrace color’s mysterious power and the magic found in the world just beyond routine.

Shahzia Sikander talks about a new Artspace edition accompanying her two big US shows
Pakistani American artist Shahzia Sikander’s new lithograph, Her-Vimana, 2025, draws inspiration from the mythological flying palaces of Hindu and Jain texts to explore themes of transformation, resilience, and feminine strength.

Hand-painted ceramic amphora by Adam Pendleton for Charity Water campaign
Why Adam Pendleton’s hand-painted ceramic amphora would look great in your home.
In his latest Black Dada series exhibited at Pace New York, Adam Pendleton expands his artistic language through vibrant purples, reds, and metallic hues, emphasizing the interplay between process and form. This exploration continues in his Untitled (Blue Amphora), a hand-painted ceramic piece created for Artspace and Avant Arte to support charity: water. Layered with spray paint, stenciled geometries, and expressive brushstrokes, Pendleton’s work captures the dynamic tension between order and chaos, reflecting our complex sensory experience of the world. Rooted in his long-standing “Black Dada” philosophy, which interrogates Blackness through abstraction and avant-garde concepts, Pendleton moves fluidly from canvas to clay, translating his gestural marks into three-dimensional form. The amphora stands as a poetic extension of his practice, embodying transformation and the ongoing dialogue between intention and happenstance.
