The Facts
Almine Rech has announced that Brian Calvin's 2013 oil painting "End of Messages" is now part of the collection of the Consortium Museum in Dijon, France. Executed in oil on canvas, the work measures 152 x 123 cm (59 7/8 x 48 3/8 in). The acquisition places the American artist's large-scale painting in the French institution's permanent collection. Almine Rech confirmed the work's new institutional home.
The Signal
The move deepens Calvin's institutional footprint in Europe, where his explorations of magnified faces and flat color have gained steady museum attention. For the Consortium Museum, a contemporary art venue with a history of collecting emerging and mid-career figures, the painting adds to its holdings of current figuration. It also reinforces the gallery's relationship with a major French collection.
