While some art aficionados collect widely, others concentrate, and buy the work of a living artist in-depth. Sometimes, those transactions can lay the groundwork for a friendship between artist and patron. nyti.ms/3GvVeoG

The Great Hall of the Met can be an intimidating entry point for visitors. The artist Jacolby Satterwhite is having none of that. His new work, “A Metta Prayer,” turns the museum’s solemnity into a funky, queer-infused love poem, set to an acid house beat. nyti.ms/3rvQN9r

With a Love Poem and Acid Beat, a Grand Space Feels the Heat (Published 2023)

Bucking the rules, and the canon, Jacolby Satterwhite remakes the Met’s Great Hall with his multimedia “A Metta Prayer.” It draws on Titian and video games.

“I had a gallery in Cologne that was showing a lot of young American artists,” Rudolf Zwirner recalled of the ‘60s, “But no clients.” The dealer decided to make a meeting of the galleries, and the first contemporary art fair was born. The rest is history. nyti.ms/3JcyoEd
