"An American painter and sculptor, Robert Longo centers his practice on transposing images and the resulting transformation of meaning. His flag is based on his 2016 large-scale charcoal drawing, completed the day of the recent presidential election. Depicting the American flag on two panels separated by five inches, the flag reflects the current symptomatic divide in the country."
"A rising star on the international art scene, Alex Da Corte works with objects and materials detached from their original function, giving then new potential both symbolically and formally. His flag is a replica of a drawing made by Ree Morton for a 1970s art project. This flag celebrates Ree and all of the friend families we form."
“That’s such a real feeling, and something we don’t often see in a work of art,” Ms. Elsayed said. “We see the prizewinning piece” — not the nagging insecurities that may have accompanied its creation."
"The success Ms. O’Reilly mentioned began percolating in 2003, when Ms. Elsayed had a solo exhibition at the Jersey City Museum."
“I was young, in my 30s. That experience created a lot of opportunities for me,” Ms. Elsayed said. “It was a big break.”
