Nadya Tolokonnikova’s “POLICE STATE” performance named one of the top art exhibitions of the year by Art News and Hyperallergic.
Art Forum review of POLICE STATE:
“This decidedly theatrical approach to the representation of state violence privileged the sensory experience of ritual, casting it all as a ruse within a ruse”
“The performance was not a spectacle, and it’s not a concept—it’s a truth made crudely and painfully legible by our own government in real time.”

Premiering Swoon’s Sibylant Sisters: New Exhibition Announcement
Apr 20, 2026
For the last few years, Swoon has worked on her most intimate story and set of characters yet: Sibylant Sisters. This autobiographical, multidimensional artwork is immersive and vulnerable. It portrays a magical story set in her childhood realized through drawing, painting, an oracle deck, and a stop motion film. The artist presents her story so that others can find healing the way she did: over years of “making the subconscious conscious,” and by exploring her parents’ opioid addictions through magical realism. Artwork from Sibylant Sisters will be the focus of Into the Forest.
What is thoughtful collecting? Tonya Turner Carroll speaks at the Park House Dallas
Apr 20, 2026
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. Christo and Jeanne-Claude are one of the most well-known and innovative artist duos in art history.

Across their installation, sculpture, and print work, Christo and Jeanne-Claude used the language of wrapping to capture light and bring attention to the way light strikes form.

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.
