About the Item
"Los Caballos en la Conquista (Horses in the Conquest)" is a Contemporary abstract Ceramica Suro slip cast remnants, glaze, and firing plate sculpture by Walead Beshty in 2013. The artwork is 9 1/2 x 32 1/4 x 21 1/2 inches and, with the frame, is 14 x 33 x 22 1/2 inches.
Los Caballos en la Conquista is part of a ceramic series created with Cerámica Suro in Guadalajara, where Beshty engages with themes like labor, colonial history, and artistic legacy, drawing influence from the city's cultural and political landscape. Shaped from leftover ceramic molds, the sculptures reference the expressive, fractured forms in José Clemente Orozco’s murals, establishing a symbolic dialogue with Mexico’s turbulent past and the traditions of Mexican Muralism.

View AllStand-Ins for Period of Wreckage 25
By Theaster Gates
Located in Palm Desert, CA
A sculpture by Theaster Gates. "Stand-Ins for Period of Wreckage 25" is a contemporary sculpture, white concrete and porcelain by American, Blue Chip artist Theaster Gates. The artwork is unsigned.
Theaster Gates' practice includes sculpture, installation, performance and urban interventions that aim to bridge the gap between art and life. Gates works as an artist, curator, urbanist and facilitator and his projects attempt to instigate the creation of cultural communities by acting as catalysts for social engagement that leads to political and spatial change.
Gates has described his working method as “critique through collaboration” – often with architects, researchers and performers – to create works that stretch the idea of what we usually understand visual-based practices to be. For his exhibition at Milwaukee Art Museum exhibition in 2010, for example, Gates invited a 250 strong gospel choir into the galleries to sing songs adapted from the inscriptions on pots by the famous 19th century slave and potter 'Dave Drake'. For the 2010 Whitney Biennial, Gates transformed the Whitney’s Sculpture Court with a spare, architectural installation that functioned as a communal gathering space for performances, social engagement, and contemplation. For the duration of the exhibition Gates collaborated with various creative practitioners on a series of 'monastic residencies', holding live events such as the session by Gates' musical ensemble, the Black Monks of Mississippi. In another recent exhibition at Seattle Art Museum, Gates transformed the gallery into an audio archive entitled 'The Listening Room', incorporating a hand-built DJ...
