As a new chapter within an established collecting journey, this collection was conceived with intention from the outset. Ryan Art Advisory worked closely with the client to establish a strong conceptual foundation, beginning with significant works by Barkley L. Hendricks and Kehinde Wiley.
By placing these two artists in dialogue, Ryan Art Advisory framed the collection within a broader art historical conversation around representation, identity, and figurative painting across generations. This purposeful beginning set a clear trajectory for the collection’s growth, grounding future acquisitions in both cultural significance and personal resonance.
Artists featured in the collection, with guidance from Ryan Art Advisory, include:
Barkley Hendricks, Titus Kaphar, Kehinde Wiley, Hugo McCloud, and Whitney Bedford
