Artwork Description:
This enigmatic portrait draws upon the formidable presence of Si Newhouse, the industrialist and American art collector whose influence shaped the contours of twentieth-century taste. Though never formally commissioned, the work forms part of a series meditating on the archetype of the collector. The polka-dot backdrop alludes to the machinery of mass production, while the exuberantly distorted features conjure a persona at once exuberant and inscrutable, echoing the paradoxes inherent in the act of collecting itself.
