Tom Wesselmann (b.1931, Cincinnati, OH, US. d.2004, New York, NY, US), 'Long Beach Seascape', 1991/95. Signed and dated on the back. Alkyd oil on cut-out aluminum, 99.1 x 190.5 cm - 39 x 75 in. Provenance: The Estate of the Artist. Tom Wesselmann’s creative approach was in constant evolution throughout his long and productive career. Never one to follow artistic convention, he continually sought new materials and formats. His fascination with innovative surfaces and technologically advanced techniques drove him to push aesthetic and formal frontiers, as seen in 'Long Beach Seascape'. In the 1980s, Wesselmann developed a laser cutting technique that opened up a new world of creative possibilities. Using this novel method, the artist delighted in transposing his bold visual vocabulary into works that challenged the boundaries between painting, drawing, and sculpture. Speaking to the New York Times in 1985, Wesselmann couldn’t contain his enthusiasm for the new medium: “I've just had the best year of my life [...] I always work in a kind of near ecstasy, anyway, but there's really been something about the new work that grabbed me.'' Centering dynamic line and vibrant color, 'Long Beach Seascape' demonstrates the artist’s endless pursuit of radical forms of creative expression.

Farah Atassi (b.1981, Brussels, Belgium), 'The Shadow,' 2026. Signed and dated on the back. Oil on canvas, 195.3 x 114.3 x 2.9 cm - 76 7/8 x 45 x 1 1/8 in. Provenance: Artist Studio. Exhibitions: Farah Atassi, 'Metamorphosis', Jun 26 — Jul 31, 2026 | Almine Rech New York. 'The Shadow' comes from a recent body of work in which Farah Atassi explored themes of metamorphosis and freedom. The central figure is a chimeric half woman-half flower that appears to flourish before our very eyes. Daphne– the nymph turned into a laurel tree to escape the god Apollo– comes to mind, a representation of transformation and transcendence. In 'The Shadow' the flower woman is organic, yet sculptural, retaining a distinct humanity that the artist has simplified, symbolized. While the composition is dreamlike and ethereal, a bold shadow brings a touch of realism, anchoring the twisting form to the pictorial plane. This work is a painting within a painting, a formal choice that allows Atassi to contrast two distinct realms while also interrogating the metamorphic potential of art. Notes of Magritte’s uncanny, atmospheric beauty emerge as the flower woman in 'The Shadow' is captured in the act of liberating herself from a canvas, striking out into the rosy dawn.
