Dive deeper into the fair with the artists and curators behind this years Intersect Special Projects:

Anderson Ranch Editions

Fair Entrance
Presenting a suite of prints by renowned artist Steve Locke. The prints are a continuation of the important body of work within Locke’s practice, his critically acclaimed Homage to the Auction Block series.

Through a stunning series of 4 screenprints, 2 aquatints and 2 embossings, Locke continues his exploration of modernism and re-envisioning Josef A. Albers’s 1950–1976 Homage to the Square series with an ominous charge. Homage to the Auction Block abstracts a slave auction block to its most basic geometric silhouette—reflecting Locke’s belief that “the basic Modernist form is indeed the slave auction block.” Queering the pure formalism and color theory of Albers, Homage to the Auction Block unpicks the intertwined histories of race and modernism.
