Additional Information: Work is titled RIBBON. Provenance: Gift from the artist The Collection of Dr. Howard Grossman, West Palm Beach, Florida.
Barton Lidice Benes (1942–2012) was a boundary-pushing American artist known for his conceptual mixed media assemblages, often using found or symbolically charged materials. Titled Ribbon and dated 2001, this piece incorporates shredded currency, a recurring motif in Benes’s work that explores the tension between material value and personal or cultural meaning. Signed and gifted directly to Dr. Howard Grossman — a noted AIDS physician and collector — the piece comes from Grossman’s West Palm Beach collection and reflects Benes’s layered, often intimate approach to storytelling through objects.
Benes’s art aligns with that of Joseph Cornell, Robert Rauschenberg, David Wojnarowicz, and Kiki Smith — artists who similarly explored identity, fragility, and social commentary through assemblage and mixed media. His work is held in the permanent collections of institutions such as the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the North Dakota Museum of Art, where his Manhattan apartment was reconstructed as an immersive installation.

Barton Lidice Benes
Barton Lidice Benes is known for his provocative, symbolic mixed media assemblage made from materials such as paper currency, biological materials and celebrity ephemera, with significant pieces relating to the AIDS epidemic . In the introduction to “Curiosa: Celebrity Relics, Historical Fossils, & Other Metamorphic Rubbish,” John Berendt discusses Benes’ works of this nature. “With some of the relics, the best in my opinion, he goes one step further and creates a shape that symbolizes the relic itself in some way. He calls this series TRANSUBSTANTIATION” (Benes pg. 15).
