Nancy Hirsch Lassen's Santa Fe

Availability: 16 weeks

At nearly eight feet tall and just under five feet wide, Lassen's *Santa Fe* commands a wall the way a landscape commands a horizon — with unhurried authority and a scale that refuses to be peripheral. The framed canvas is finished in silver, lending the work a cool, luminous edge that holds its own against the painting's presence without competing for the room's attention. John Richard's execution speaks to a curatorial sensibility: the marriage of substantial wooden framing and refined silver finish positions this piece as an architectural gesture as much as an artwork.
