MASSIMO VITALI
Sarakiniko, 2011

“Massimo Vitali is an Italian photographer known for his large-scale photographs depicting beaches, often from above or from an aerial view. The beauty in these photographs are the stunning compositions: his stark white and blue beaches dotted with the colorful bodies of people is almost minimalism and evokes the peace of the beach that I’ve come to miss so dearly over the past few weeks. Vitali’s work can be seen in many iconic museums and galleries such as the Guggenheim, the Centre Pompidou, and of course the Benrubi Gallery.”

LORNA SIMPSON
Counting, 1991

“Lorna Simpson is an American artist whose iconic black-and-white photographs and collages explore culture, history, and identity. As a patron of African American artists, I’ve always found Lorna Simpson’s work to be stunningly emotive and pregnant with deeper meaning. Her juxtaposition of objects and people, scenes and abstract imagery, colors her signature black-and-white photographs with American ideas of memory, race, and gender.”

RICHARD RENALDI
Michael & Kimberly, 2011

“I stumbled upon this artist while browsing through the galleries on artmoney.com Richard Renaldi is a Chicago-born photographer whose series Touching Strangers is a stark reminder of the current situation in my hometown of Downtown Brooklyn. According to the New York Times “Renaldi meets strangers on the street and asks them to touch or embrace one another; he then photographs these arrangements as group portraits.” These beautiful photographs mixed with their deeper meaning may soon be a memento from a time gone by.”

DR OBDULIO PILOTO
Self-reflections, 2019

“Dr. Obdulio Piloto is a Miami-based artist and scientist represented by Artem + Scientia Gallery, which is also an Artory partner that has been actively using our platform to deliver digital, blockchain secured Certificates of Authenticity to their clients. Ever-innovative, Piloto uses paint embedded with encrypted DNA from his genome to explore the implications that CRISPR technology could have for people and societies in the future in a capitalistic world. With scientists at the forefront of our current societal climate, I find Piloto’s art to be more beautiful and profound than ever.”
