NEW YORK – 23 SEPTEMBER 2024 – PhillipsX is pleased to announce Blue Hour, a selling exhibition on view 3-20 October at Phillips’ New York headquarters. The exhibition is curated by Joan Tucker, a recognized curator, collector, and art advisor, and features the work of nearly 20 emerging artists, including, Laura Berger, Bethany Czarnecki, Etsu Egami, Annice Fell, Michele Fletcher, Annabell Häfner, Anders Hamilton, Elizabeth Hazan, Elizabeth Hohimer, Sarah Martin-Nuss, Zoe McGuire, Sofia Nifora, Laurie Nye, Se Oh, Sabrina Piersol, Katherine Qiyu Su, Alexandre Wagner, Jess Xiaoyi Han, and Tianyue Zhong.
The exhibition’s title, Blue Hour, refers to the time of evening that immediately precedes twilight, when the little remaining sunlight scatters across the sky, creating a precious blue color that lingers only a short time. This ephemeral time is one of transition, where the world seems to hold its breath, suspended in a liminal space brimming with possibility. It also serves as a potent metaphor for transformation, inviting us to embrace the power of reinvention. The emerging artists in this exhibition draw inspiration from the magic of the blue hour, capturing its elusive beauty and inviting viewers to embrace the infinite potential that lies within the in-between.
Joan Tucker says, “I am always thrilled to collaborate with PhillipsX in introducing emerging artists to their collectors and a broader, relevant audience. This partnership plays a vital role in giving these artists the exposure and recognition they deserve. Above all, I am deeply grateful to the Phillips team for offering this unique opportunity to showcase new talents and support their creative journeys.”
