Collectors Agenda

In the Studio Doug Aitken, Los Angeles, CA

Doug Aitken is an American artist known for installations that span a wide spectrum of media and genres; they may include video, print media, photography, sculpture, sound, and performance.

In the Studio Shara Hughes, Brooklyn, New York

Shara Hughes is an American painter based in Brooklyn, and is known for her lush, vibrant, imaginative landscapes. These do not root in any outside reference, but rather in her exploration of shape, form and light.
