About the Item

Writers’ Bench 149th Street and Grand Concourse, 2020, José Parlá. Rare, hand finished from an edition of 50. Absolutely stunning piece that works in a variety of environments. Wonderful investment from an influential and innovative artist. Framed: 29.1in x 45.7in x 1.6in, Pre-mounted inside a bespoke white box frame with protective XT UV plexiglass. Archival pigment print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Ultra Smooth 305gsm Paper, unique hand finished impasto. Released in 2020. For this edition, José took inspiration from the culture of writers in New York. The term “benching” comes from that place — the main purpose of the Writer’s Bench was to watch the trains that had been freshly painted, to meet other artists, exchange black books, sometimes to even settle an argument. José says of the piece, “I think of this work as an homage to the culture of writers in New York. When making the work, I imagined the layers of the billboards in subway stations and I was inspired by the colours and collage elements often seen on the billboards on the platforms themselves.”

  • Banksy Walled Off Hotel Box Set 2019 Box Framed With Different Colors Unique WOH
    By Banksy
    Located in Draper, UT
    Perhaps the most famous figure in street art working today, Banksy is known for urban interventions that demonstrate irreverent wit and a biting political edge. Enhancing his mystique by maintaining an anonymous identity, the artist has modified street signs, illegally printed his own currency, and illicitly hung his own work in the Louvre and the Museum of Modern Art. He often uses spray paint and stencils in his critiques of consumerism, political authority, terrorism, and the status of art and its display. His street art, installations, and studio-produced works have been shown in Los Angeles, New York, London, Bethlehem, and beyond. His art has been subject to widespread interest on the secondary market and has fetched eight figures at auction. Walled Off Hotel Box Set...

    By Nancy Baker
    Located in Darien, CT
    In Baker’s work, there is solace in the geometry of fundamentals, and a practice that focuses on the ephemeral nature of paper and the ease of its transportability, which allows her to create large-scale constructions. A desire for definitive certainties and incontrovertible truths in an era of “alternative facts”, precipitate the need for Baker to assert her clarification of evidence. A new major installation has been created for her exhibition at ODETTA that layers baroque design elements found in paper cup carrying trays with anxiety-provoking phrases, rendered as gorgeous, yet fragile paper spheres...
