Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco M.H. de Young Memorial Museum acquires Candlesticks, Books, Flowers, and Fruit
A gift from Dorothy Saxe in honor of John Buchanan, contemporary glass artist Beth Lipman’s Candlesticks, Books, Flowers and Fruit (2010) is installed as a dramatic centerpiece of Gallery 25 at the de Young, which features our nineteenth-century trompe l’oeil paintings. By placing Lipman's sculpture, along with works by contemporary artists such as Richard Shaw (b. 1941) and David Regan (b. 1964), in a gallery of predominantly nineteenth-century still lives, we underscore the persistent resonance of the still life genre, which can reflect both an artist’s mastery of technique and the philosophical, spiritual, or moral questions of an age.

The still life, One and Others, is a site-specific installation commissioned by the Norton Museum of Art. It is a composite "portrait" of the museum, an early settler to Palm Beach, Richard Hone, and the artist. The work includes pineapple flowers, leaves, and fruit, gazing balls from David Teniers the Younger's The Interior of a Nobleman's Gallery and multiple floral swags referring to Daniel Seghers's A Garland of Pink Roses, a Tulip, a Pink Carnation, Narcissi and Other Flowers with Blue Bows as well numerous other objects found in the museum's permanent collection paintings. The entire composition balances atop a casket that is custom fitted to the artist's dimensions.
