IMMERSED IN THE ART WORLD, SARAH HARRELSON IS CONSISTENTLY AMONG THE FIRST TO SPOT AND MEET TOP-TIER TALENT. WHILE HER OWN COLLECTION IS ROBUST AND ENVIABLE, HERE ARE THE ONES THAT GOT AWAY…
01
Wade Guyton.
Time has made clear how important his voice is. Represented by Mathew Marks Gallery, matthewmarks.com
02
Kara Walker.
Her bronze reliefs are incredible. They’re an editioned work I wish I had acted on when I first came across them. Her current exhibition at SFMOMA has put them on my mind again. karawalkerstudio. com. Represented by Sikkema Mallow Jenkins (smjny.com) and Sprüth Magers (spruethmagers.com).
03
Anna Weyant.
I remember when I first saw her work. It’s a moment in this world where Weyant’s pictures of the inner life of women feel deeply powerful. Represented by Gagosian, gagosian.com
04
Lorna Simpson.
Lorna’s work has the restrained power of poetry. lsimpsonstudio.com
05
Avery Singer.
More and more I get emails I suspect were written by AI. It’s amazing to feel like a painting speaks to the strangeness of this. Represented by Hauser & Wirth, hauserwirth.com
06
Henry Taylor.
I shot him for the cover almost ten years ago. I just saw the Sargent show at The Met. Taylor’s portraits are just remarkable. Represented by Hauser & Wirth, hauserwirth.com
