Donald Sultan American, b. 1951
58.4 x 55.9 cm.
Sultan describes his work as "heavy structure, holding fragile meaning" with the ability to "turn you off and turn you on at the same time." Sultan's still lifes have been described as studies in contrast. His powerfully sensual, fleshy object representations are rendered through a labor-intensive printing method.
Sultan has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions and group shows. His work is included in the permanent collections of institutions including The Museum of Modern Art, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
