On View in Our Sitting Room: Stephen Dean, Richard Hunt, Louise Nevelson, and Donald Sultan
Beyond our main exhibitions, the works installed throughout the gallery change every few months. This autumn, we’re pleased to present works by artists in our gallery program alongside a selection of blue-chip works available at the gallery.
The room is anchored by a 1976-1978 Nevelson wall assemblage. Recognized as one of America’s most innovative sculptors, Nevelson is best known for her monochromatic constructions of found wooden objects. Beside it, Richard Hunt’s “Jacob’s Ladder (maquette),” made from welded steel and industrial scrap, echoes Nevelson’s approach to bringing three-dimensional abstraction to life from found materials.
Stephen Dean’s “Black Ladder” explores the interplay of saturated color, transparency, and light through layered dichroic glass panels. Donald Sultan, long drawn to contrasts between beauty and roughness, and between realism and abstraction, is represented by “Black Poppies 2017” and “Pink and Copper Mimosa Nov 28 2025.” In both works, industrial materials, from aluminum to enamel and Masonite, are transformed into cleanly constructed, lush botanical forms, balancing the natural and the artificial.
