About this work

Donald Sultan has established himself as one of the most significant American artists working with industrial materials and processes, bridging the conceptual rigor of minimalism with the sensory richness of still life painting. His career, spanning five decades, is defined by an innovative approach to surface and form—employing tar, spackle, and vinyl tiles to create works that possess both physical weight and visual elegance. Sultan's flowers, particularly his poppies, have become central to his practice, transforming a classical genre into something decidedly contemporary through scale, material, and stark graphic contrast. *Poppies with Colors (Suite of 2)* represents a continuation of Sultan's celebrated botanical investigations, rendered here in color silkscreen with enamel inks, flocking, and the tar-like texture that has become synonymous with his name. The suite presents the poppy form with characteristic boldness—voluptuous silhouettes set against grounds that emphasize their sculptural presence. The flocking adds a tactile dimension that rewards close viewing, while the enamel inks provide a chromatic intensity that distinguishes this suite from his more restrained monochromatic editions. Executed on Rising 4-ply museum board at 42 x 42 inches, each work commands significant wall presence while maintaining the intimacy inherent to the still life tradition. Issued in an edition of 40, this 2026 suite arrives as Sultan's market continues to demonstrate consistent institutional and collector demand. His prints remain sought after for their accessibility relative to his paintings while retaining the material complexity that defines his broader oeuvre.
