westmorelandmuseum New Acquisition Alert! Gavin Benjamin’s “Past Imperfect #1” (2023) is the newest work in the Museum’s permanent collection. It joins three other works by the artist that were on view at The Westmoreland in 2022–2023.

You can see “Past Imperfect #1” on view at the Museum today and tomorrow (May 30 & 31) in the special pop-up exhibition “Gavin Benjamin: Gilded Glamour.”

A multidisciplinary artist, merges photography, painting, and design to explore questions of identity, race, luxury, and belonging. Drawing inspiration from art history, fashion, and pop culture, his richly layered portraits challenge how beauty and power are portrayed in contemporary society.

Got to see new works by Hans Neleman at Hollis Taggart Downtown - part of their current group show - catch it if you can!

Thank you Eleanor for being warm and welcoming - love the new space!

Cheers!
