Logan Lecture: Shiva Ahmadi

Shiva Ahmadi orchestrates exquisitely crafted scenes of beauty and terror. Her vibrant fantasy realms are, upon closer inspection, macabre theaters of conflict where faceless figures engage in endless cycles of struggle and pain. Combining luminous colors and mystical beings with violent imagery, Ahmadi creates watercolor paintings, sculptures, and digital animations that illuminate global issues of migration, war, and brutality against marginalized peoples. Her work is informed by current events in the Middle East and the US, and inspired by Iranian, Turkish, and Indian book and miniature painting traditions.

In 2016, Ahmadi received the Anonymous Was A Woman Award and a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. Her work is in the collections of the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; Dallas Museum of Art; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; and Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia.

Logan Lecture: Stephen Prina

Stephen Prina is an art polymath. Since the late 1970s, Prina has moved nimbly between the disciplines of painting, sculpture, photography, installation, and music. His projects reference art history, personal biography, and musical compositions that shift and change depending on the context in which they are presented. Prina often appropriates the work of other artists, exploring the post-studio afterlife of objects and recordings presented in galleries and museums, and received by critics and historians of art. Through his engagement with these works, Prina highlights the shifting nature of art’s reception and interpretation across time.

Looking Out, Looking In: Legacies of the Masuda Collection

The Provenance Research Department is excited to present Looking Out, Looking In: Legacies of the Masuda Collection. Provenance Research Fellow Mac Coyle will highlight works at the Denver Art Museum from the collection of Baron Masuda Takashi (1848-1938). President of Mitsu Company, Masuda was an avid collector during Japan’s transformative Meiji period (1868-1912) who assembled one of the most impressive and influential holdings of Japanese art—the legacy of which can still be felt in Japan’s cultural patrimony laws and in Japanese art collections worldwide.
