The Facts
Sarah Crowner will participate in a Works & Process conversation at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, on Monday 14 September, following highlights from a new Paul Taylor Dance Company work co-commissioned by American Dance Festival, with choreography by Pam Tanowitz and set design by Crowner, ahead of its premiere at Lincoln Center. Crowner also joins Tanowitz and artistic director Gideon Lester for a discussion about their full-length dance work, Pastoral, at Skidmore College, where Tanowitz is the 2026 McCormack Visiting Artist-Scholar in Residence. Pastoral, a collaboration with Tanowitz and composer Caroline Shaw, will be staged at the Barbican Theatre, London, featuring Crowner's décor and a score by Shaw that responds to Beethoven's Symphony No. 6. Crowner's work is also featured in "Faire Foyer: Sarah Crowner in Dialogue with Etel Adnan" at Bass Museum of Art, Miami, pairing her bronze sculptures with Adnan's monumental ceramic mural and 1960s California coastline photographs.
The Signal
These simultaneous projects underscore Crowner's expanding influence beyond the gallery, positioning her as a key collaborator in contemporary dance and interdisciplinary practice. For collectors, her involvement in high-profile commissions and museum dialogues signals sustained institutional interest, potentially bolstering demand for her 'cut & stitch' canvases and sculptures. The Bass Museum show, in particular, highlights a cross-generational dialogue with Etel Adnan, a market favorite, which could enhance Crowner's visibility among collectors seeking works that bridge abstraction and materiality. As galleries increasingly spotlight artists who work across mediums, Crowner's trajectory reflects a broader trend toward interdisciplinary recognition, making her a compelling figure to watch in both art and performance circles.
