Maura Brewer: Leverage
Maura Brewer’s (2022 Awardee) solo exhibition Leverage presents a new essay-video and series of drawings by Brewer that trace the history of the financialization of art. The work is a portrait of Daniel Sundheim, a prominent investor and art collector, told through the story of art-backed loans. Set against the backdrop of the current art market downturn, Leverage is also a story about debtors and creditors, interest rates, international fugitives and transactional friendships.
