Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum acquires work by Jordan Ann Craig

Hales is proud to announce that Jordan Ann Craig's 2022 work, Midnight on Another Planet, has been acquired by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, purchased with funds contributed by the Young Collectors Council, 2023.

 

Known for her large-scale paintings and prints, Craig's abstract compositions are characterized by a dynamic exploration and interpretation of Northern Cheyenne and Cheyenne material culture. Incorporating vivid colors, recurring patterns, and interwoven forms situated in grids, Craig's work explores and celebrates her Native ancestry, posing questions about the languages of modern abstract painting and the relationship to both historic and contemporary Indigenous culture.

 

In 2023, the Guggenheim acquired 102 works by more than 60 artists, over half of whom are new to the collection. The works, spanning from 1928 to the present day, further the Guggenheim's commitment to expanding the purview of its interpretation and presentation of modern and contemporary art by focusing on acquiring works that embody diversity and innovation.
