Study for Blue (for JB) #6

2025

Study for Blue (for JB) #6 is a striking blue monochrome work from Glenn Ligon's 2025 series, featured in his exhibition "Late at Night, Early in the Morning, at Noon" at Hauser & Wirth New York. The work displays Ligon's signature approach to text and surface, with dark, distressed lettering overlaying a rich blue ground, creating a layered, almost archaeological effect. This piece exemplifies Ligon's ongoing exploration of language, identity, and the visual power of text as abstraction.
