(Pyramid, Pink)
2010
A softly folded pigment print suffused with dusty pink tones, this 2010 work by Jack Pierson operates at the intersection of the photographic object and sculpture. The deliberate creasing of the print introduces a physical dimension that disrupts the flatness traditionally associated with photography, casting subtle shadows and redirecting light across the surface in ways that shift with viewing angle and environment. The result is an image that refuses to remain purely representational, becoming instead a meditative thing in itself, caught between document and form. Pierson has long been drawn to the poetic residue of American life, and his practice consistently elevates the overlooked and the quietly melancholic into something luminous. The pink palette here carries that characteristic emotional weight, evoking nostalgia, desire, and a certain tenderness without becoming sentimental. The folded structure recalls both the fragility of memory and the artist's sustained interest in impermanence, in surfaces that bear traces of handling and time. Offered in an edition of three and signed by the artist, this work represents Pierson at his most formally inventive, translating familiar photographic material into a sculptural proposition. At 57.2 by 76.2 centimetres, the piece holds an intimate scale well suited to residential or institutional settings alike, and it arrives through Xavier Hufkens, one of the galleries most closely associated with Pierson's European presence. Collectors drawn to work that rewards sustained looking, and that carries genuine conceptual economy, will find this a compelling and quietly commanding addition to a collection.
