Martin Wong’s haunting paintings combine the leftist politics of social realism with a cosmic, transcendent symbology; brick walls and constellations are frequent motifs. A fixture of New York’s East Village art scene in the 1980s, the largely self-taught artist often focused on the city’s blighted downtown landscape. He imbued row houses and ruins with a sense of magic as he considered the intersections of race, sexuality, and history in his urban environment. Wong exhibited extensively in New York before his death in 1999, and his work has been included in exhibitions at the New Museum, Whitney Museum of American Art, Museum of Modern Art, Studio Museum in Harlem, and The Bass, among other institutions. Wong’s paintings have sold for six-figure prices on the secondary market.

Since emerging onto the international art scene in the late 1980s, Damien Hirst has created installations, sculptures, paintings, and drawings that examine the complex relationships between art and beauty, religion and science, and life and death. From serialized paintings of multicolored spots to animal specimens...
