Mary Hong's Valentine II

Availability: 16 weeks

A polished canvas work of near-perfect square proportion, Mary Hong's Valentine II carries the quiet authority of a piece that needs no grand scale to command a room. The shallow depth belies its presence — at eighteen and a half inches, it occupies wall space with the considered restraint of a well-placed accent, neither demanding nor receding. From the John Richard collection, it speaks to a curatorial sensibility that prizes intimacy and intention in equal measure.
