Broaching subjects as diverse as race, celebrity, religion, politics, sex, and art history, the Illinois-born, New York-based artist’s works eschew linear storytelling in lieu of disjointed narratives. Through a bracing use of color and unapologetic scale, Abney's canvases propose a new kind of history painting.
Her work is held in the collections of prestigious institutions such as the Whitney Museum, MoMA, and the Brooklyn Museum, among others. Meanwhile, recent major solo exhibitions, including those at Jack Shainman Gallery and Jeffrey Deitch, have solidified her place in the contemporary art world. She is also known for her collaborations with Nike and Timberland.
Now, Phaidon, Monacelli, and Artspace are proud to present Digital Blue, 2025, a groundbreaking moving-image limited edition by the artist. Produced in collaboration with Infinite Objects, the leading platform for creating displayable digital art, Digital Blue, 2025 is Artspace’s first-ever NFT release.
