Dream a little dream, 2025

Artspace in partnership with New Contemporaries is pleased to debut Dream a little dream, a striking new limited edition print by British artist Michaela Yearwood-Dan.

Yearwood-Dan is known for her richly layered compositions that blend abstraction, gesture, and poetic text, as well as expressive brushwork and sweeping color that draw from her personal experiences and British Caribbean heritage. She often inscribes lines of text within her paintings - pulled from song lyrics, poetry, or her own diaristic writings.

Dream a little dream is based on an original drawing newly created for this commission. The edition of 50 comprises 40 archival pigment prints with silkscreen varnishes and glass flocking, as well as 10 unique impressions hand-finished with acrylic paint, oil pastel, ink, and glitter. A cursive inscription along the edition’s margins - “You are in every single dream” - infuses the composition with a sense of emotional immediacy and intimacy.

Proceeds from the sale of Dream a little dream benefit New Contemporaries, supporting the next generation of emerging artists.

Michaela Yearwood-Dan is represented by Marianne Boesky Gallery and Hauser & Wirth.

Michaela Yearwood-Dan (b. 1994, London, UK) creates vibrant and immersive works across large-scale painting, works on paper, ceramics, and site-specific installations. Her practice blends influences of Blackness, queerness, femininity, healing rituals, and carnival culture, with a focus on creating spaces of unbounded possibilities for identity.

Yearwood-Dan's work has been shown internationally, including at the Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, and Palazzo Monti, Brescia, and is in the permanent collections of major institutions like the Hirshhorn Museum, Washington D.C., and the Dallas Museum of Art, among others.

All our frames are manufactured in the USA, using eco-friendly and sustainably sourced engineered hardwood for durability and a uniform finish that is free of defects. Frames are available in Black or White Satin and Honey Pecan.

All prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Alpha Cellulose matboard, using an acid-free linen tape. The mat's surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conservation quality foam-core mounting board that will keep the work safe from deterioration over time. Artworks with a deckled or decorative edges will be floated on the matboard, with acrylic spacers to separate the art from the glazing. All mounting is fully reversible, without any potential damage to the art.

All of our frames come with picture quality .090 mm plexiglass, which blocks 66% of UV to prevent color fading from exposure to light, keeping your art protected for years to come. It is now considered the industry standard for artists, museums and galleries throughout the world.
