A collector’s connection to a work of art can come from many places, as many as the different effects art has on our psychology; it moves us in a way beyond words, allows for creative and original thoughts, new ideas, and the ability to step inside someone else’s world. It can remind us of unique personal joys or meaningful experiences, or it can spark inspiration and action in our lives.

We are incredibly excited to be able to offer collectors works from Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s family collection.

Swoon’s street art, printmaking, and activism takes the world by storm
Nov 13, 2025
Caledonia Curry, recognized internationally by her street art name Swoon, fundamentally shifted street art in the 21st century. Widely known as the most popular female street artist of the century, Swoon began anonymously wheatpasting her intricately detailed paper-cut portraits of everyday people onto the industrial walls and abandoned buildings of New York City in the early 2000s. After gaining notoriety in New York, Swoon completed larger and larger projects, eventually building a fleet of rafts named Swimming Cities of Serenissima which she sailed into the Venice Biennale of 2009. This action cemented her name in art history, and since then Swoon has collaborated with international art icons including Shepard Fairey, Alicia Keys, and Swizz Beatz. The foundational concept behind Swoon’s work is the power of art to heal and transform darkness into light–a message that resonates with art lovers now more than ever.
