With You I Want to Live: Gordon Locksley & George T. Shea Collection |
Gordon Locksley + George T. Shea Collection
(through September 5, 2010)
Gordon Locksley has amassed extraordinary holdings of contemporary art since he began collecting in 1960. He and his business partner, George T. Shea, began their careers as art dealers, opening in 1964 the Locksley Shea Gallery in Minneapolis, where they represented artists who are now considered modern masters, among them being Andy Warhol, Donald Judd, Ellsworth Kelly, Cy Twombly and Brice Marden.
After leaving Minneapolis and living in Rome and Cannes, Gordon Locksley settled in Fort Lauderdale. He continues to actively collect and commission new works, some of which are on view in this installation, including paintings by Peter Halley, Robert Mangold, and Takashi Murkami, sculpture by Jack Pierson, Anselm Reyle, and Yoshitimo Nara, as well as light pieces by Tracey Emin and Dan Flaven. |
