Published in conjunction with the exhibition "Lesley Vance and Ricky Swallow at the Huntington," at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, November 10, 2012 through March 11, 2013. The exhibition marked the first time contemporary art was installed in the historic Huntington mansion galleries. Vance's intimate oil-on-linen abstractions, rooted in the tradition of the still life, were paired with small-scale patinated bronze sculptures by Swallow. The essays examine the history of the Huntington collection, the formal and conceptual concerns of both artists, and their shared interest in craft, material, and the working process.
