Collaborative painting by Dana Ellyn & Matt Sesow.
A chaotic gathering sparked by Elon Musk’s third-party tease—this painting captures America’s fractured identity, with the scene fueled by booze and a medley of emotions.
The black paper used in this painting was sourced directly from the Felix Gonzalez-Torres exhibition “Always to Return” at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. Specifically, it came from the paper stack titled “Untitled” (Party Platform – 1980–1992), which invites visitors to take a sheet as part of the conceptual work. This is the third time Matt Sesow has incorporated paper from a Gonzalez-Torres installation into his own artwork.
Matt Sesow's preparatory sketch (5"x7" ink on postcard). Included with purchase of the painting.
