Kusama Pumpkin

Damien Hirst (British, b. 1965).This work is offered unframed. "The Empresses" (H-10, 2022) marks a new iteration in Damien Hirst’s exploration of the butterfly as a symbol for freedom, religion, life and death. Part of a series of five laminated giclée prints on aluminum composite, screen-printed with glitter, each print depicts images of red and black butterfly wings, arranged into a unique kaleidoscope-like pattern. The carefully positioned wings appear mobile and their patterns transform, each print seeming to capture the butterflies in moments of variously directional flight. A composition that is infused with an exhilarating sense of speed and movement, "Taytu Betul" is named after the fierce empress of Ethiopia. Upon her marriage to Emperor Menelik in 1889, Taytu Betul (c. 1851–1918) became Empress of Ethiopia. She was anything but a passive ruler, unequivocally resistant to imperialism and staunchly opposed to any negotiations that would result in a loss of Ethiopian territory. During her reign, Taytu Betul also founded Addis Ababa, which remains Ethiopia’s capital city today. "Taytu Betul" immediately draws the eye to the red and black pairs of wings that form the basis of the composition: the spiral. It begins at the center of the work and moves outward, apparently past the picture plane. The momentum that develops as this composition progresses echoes the passion and physical dedication of Taytu Betul, who was at the head of her army as they went to war to defend their borders. These wings are complemented by additional arrangements of variously sized, colored and patterned wings, which form a sort of secondary backdrop to the central action of the work. "Taytu Betul" stands out from the series for its vigorous attempt to capture the butterflies in their true living form. With the composition resembling an aerial view, the print allows viewers to look downward as the momentum of this pack of butterflies is captured in the spiral and dynamic development of the composition.

H10-5 Taytu Betul (The Empresses)

Damien Hirst (British, b. 1965).This work is offered unframed. "The Empresses" (H-10, 2022) marks a new iteration in Damien Hirst’s exploration of the butterfly as a symbol for freedom, religion, life and death. A series of five laminated giclée prints on aluminum composite, screen-printed with glitter, each print depicts images of red and black butterfly wings, arranged into a unique kaleidoscope-like pattern. The carefully positioned wings appear mobile and their patterns transform, each print seeming to capture the butterflies in moments of variously directional flight. Extraordinarily complex and dynamic, "Theodora" is named for the great Byzantine empress who used her intelligence and savvy to create lasting change in the empire. Born into the lowest class of Byzantine society, Theodora (497–548 CE) rose to power in 527 CE following her marriage to Emperor Justinian. She left a significant impact on the region, namely through implementing new religious and social policies. Indeed, Theodora’s power over the empire left many to wonder if it was her and not Justinian that ruled. In "Theodora," various hues of red and black butterfly wings assemble into an intriguing asymmetrical pattern, the only one of its kind from the series. Lines of glittering red, noticeable only at proximity, symmetrically sections the composition vertically in half, as well as divides it horizontally into thirds and establishes a circle in the upper half of the print. The lower horizontal band, the circle and the vertical line are the most prominent, creating a formation reminiscent of the female gender symbol. Such recalls some of Theodora’s landmark policies that benefited women, including prohibiting the trafficking of girls and amending divorce laws to give women more rights. With the wings arranged in pairs or singularly across the work, "Theodora" stands out for its degree of organized chaos. The result of the carefully composed asymmetrical composition is the visual sensation that these wings are not lifeless specimens arranged for the viewer’s aesthetic pleasure, but insects vibrating with life, captured zooming across (and perceivably beyond) the picture plane.

H10-3 Theodora (The Empresses)

Damien Hirst (British, b. 1965).This work is offered unframed. "The Empresses" (H-10, 2022) marks a new iteration in Damien Hirst’s exploration of the butterfly as a symbol for freedom, religion, life and death. A series of five laminated giclée prints on aluminum composite, screen-printed with glitter, each print depicts images of red and black butterfly wings, arranged into a unique kaleidoscope-like pattern. The carefully positioned wings appear mobile and their patterns transform, each print seeming to capture the butterflies in moments of variously directional flight. Rife with symbolism and with a hexagonal composition at its center, "Wu Zetian" is named for the ruthless yet successful Chinese ruler. In 655 CE, Wu Zetian (624–705 CE) married Emperor Gaozong and became empress, much to the dismay of many statesmen who she soon eliminated in an infamous reign of terror that she maintained over the innermost circles of government. Despite the politics and violence within, Wu Zetian proved to be a competent leader, creating stability and consolidating the Tang Dynasty at a time when it appeared to be crumbling. At the center of "Wu Zetian" is a single pair of butterfly wings, which is surrounded by a concentric circle of paired wings. This arrangement blossoms into a dynamic and symmetrical hexagonal formation which has an arrangement of three pairs of wings within each point. This reliance on the number six to establish the composition recalls its reappearance across Chinese idioms to denote good will, installing six as a lucky number. The number gains additional significance as it relates to the hexagon, which in China evokes the six directions (North, South, East, West, Heaven and Earth) and therefore represents completeness, harmony and balance. These associations also recall the story of Wu Zetian whose intelligence, courage and decisiveness brought stability to her empire. Beautifully outlined with brilliant red wings, the four corners of the picture plane are filled with further arrangements of single or paired wings. The clever transitions between compositional structures in "Wu Zetian" lend a captivating complexity to the work that leaves it apparently ever-changing, imparting into the work a sense of movement. Effectively, the composition infuses the print with the sensation that the butterflies are indeed alive and are billowing out into the space of the viewer.

H10-1 Wu Zetian (The Empresses)

Damien Hirst (British, b. 1965).This work is offered unframed. "The Empresses" (H-10, 2022) marks a new iteration in Damien Hirst’s exploration of the butterfly as a symbol for freedom, religion, life and death. A series of five laminated giclée prints on aluminum composite, screen-printed with glitter, each print depicts images of red and black butterfly wings, arranged into a unique kaleidoscope-like pattern. The carefully positioned wings appear mobile and their patterns transform, each print seeming to capture the butterflies in moments of variously directional flight. "Suiko," a composition which evokes life in many ways, is titled after the first recorded empress of Japan. Though legend says that several females had ruled before Suiko (554–628 CE), her rise to power after her brother Sushun was murdered in 592 CE marked a break with tradition of installing male rulers. Suiko is remembered for the Chinese and Korean influences she brought to the country, including the implementation of the Chinese calendar, the arrival of Chinese and Korean craftsmen, and, perhaps most notably, the establishment of Buddhism. In "Suiko," variously sized paired wings emanate from the work’s center, producing a symmetrical concentric circle, a compositional arrangement that recalls Buddhist symbolism and the life cycle. This circular pattern is strikingly defined by glittering lines of red that diagonally cross the composition from the center to meet each corner. With the wings set against a red background, the lines shoot through the pairs of disembodied wings where the bodies once existed. As is true of each work from the series, "Suiko" appears in a constant state of transformation, the butterflies moving and evolving the longer one stands before the work. While the intricacies can be truly appreciated up close to the print, from afar the composition takes on a new life. From this vantage point, "Suiko" reveals itself to have a ballooning arrangement of wings, which are organized around the central pattern of concentric circles and complemented by external arrangements of further wings. This arrangement is akin to a biological or molecular structure, evocative of the organisms that it depicts.

Marcel Duchamp, 'Readymade, Paris, 1914', #4

Darío Escobar (Guatemalan, b. 1971).Deconstructed skateboard joined by gold-plated steel hinges.Sculpture. "Darío Escobar's desire to bring together Guatemala's past and present first came to the fore in the early 2000s with a series of works exploring his country's baroque past and the enthusiasm for sports that predominates among its population today."—Alma Ruiz&nbsp;Using skateboards and various other sports equipment, Darío has effectively and often humorously deconstructed the forms, uses and meanings of the objects with which he works. While he has successfully applied this approach to a myriad of common objects such as bicycle tires, camping gear, McDonald’s cups, shopping carts and chrome bumpers, the perspective applied via his use of sports equipment is particularly relevant. Darío’s edition with The Lapis Press is inspired by his work,&nbsp;Sin título, expanding on Darío’s investigation into the global sports industry and the phenomenon of skateboarding as a lifestyle. In&nbsp;Sin título,&nbsp;Darío literally deconstructs a skateboard and reconstructs it with a series of hinges. By removing its use value and recontextualizing it as art (effectively appropriating Marcel Duchamp’s approach to his readymades), Darío presents in stark relief the culture of skateboarding beyond the sport.

Alannah Farrell is a queer, trans painter who lives and works in New York. They received their BFA from the Cooper Union in 2011 and have exhibited their work at The Painting Center, New York; Theirry Goldberg Gallery, New York; and UTA Artist Space, Los Angeles. Farrell’s practice is focused on the meditative exploration of the figurative tradition. Soft, repetitive brushwork acts as a vehicle for Farrell to portray their community with a complex tenderness. Each sensitive portrait investigates deep psychological questions and the alienation, anxieties and violences of modern queer life.
