Overview

This exhibition explores the collaborative process between artist and publisher by tracing how Donald Sultan’s original works—paintings and works on paper—have inspired a vibrant series of limited-edition prints and sculptures produced over the past 20 years by Lococo Fine Art. Focusing on Sultan’s signature motifs of poppies, mimosas, and lantern flowers, the exhibition offers an inside look at how an artist’s singular vision can be reimagined and made more widely accessible through the fine art publishing process.

Visitors will see nine original works by Sultan alongside their print and sculptural counterparts, revealing the thoughtful translation of texture, scale, and surface from one medium to another. Sultan’s lush floral forms are bold, elegant, and materially rich, they present unique challenges and opportunities in edition-making. The exhibition invites viewers to consider not only the creative ingenuity of the artist, but also the technical artistry of the publisher and fabricators who help bring these works to broader audiences.

Sultan, who lives and works in New York City and rose to prominence in the 1980s, continues to captivate collectors and viewers alike with his distinctive approach to form and color. From Painting to Print celebrates that legacy and the collaborative spirit of contemporary fine art publishing.
