Nancy Hirsch Lassen's Some Like It Hot, Small

Availability: 16 weeks

A nearly perfect square of considered composition, this framed canvas work from John Richard carries the wit and warmth its title promises — a studied tension between energy and restraint that rewards prolonged looking. The wood frame holds its ground with quiet authority, neither competing with nor receding from the image it houses. At just over forty-three inches to a side, the piece occupies a wall with genuine presence, scaled for the collector who understands that a room is only as resolved as what hangs within it.
