Caviar
A luxurious yet paradoxical tension defines this work, in which Herold applies actual caviar alongside gesso and resin onto linen, elevating a prized delicacy to the status of artistic material. The tactile surface invites contemplation of value, consumption, and the boundaries between fine art and indulgence. By fixing the perishable within resin, Herold simultaneously preserves and entombs a symbol of excess, challenging assumptions about worth and permanence.
