Bruno David Gallery is pleased to announce the recent acquisition of Jill Downen’s Tendon on Pallet, (2009) by the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. Jill Downen is a 2010 John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellow and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellow.

Tendon on Pallet is a sculpture produced in conjunction with the installation "Counterparts", which was on view at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art from February to May 2011. "Counterparts" offered viewers an immersive experience where they were able to contemplate ideas about the body and architecture, temporality and permanence, the material and immaterial. A fully illustrated catalogue with an essay by Britt-Marie Schiller was published. We are delighted that Jennifer Klos, Associate Curator, Alison Amick, Curator of Collections and Glen Gentele, President of the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, have recognized the strength of Downen’s artwork and that Tendon on Pallet will further enhance the museum's great Contemporary Art collection.

We also invite you to read a review by Ivy Cooper in Art in America (here), the Guggenheim Foundation Fellowships (here), an essay by Andrea L. Ferber (here) and an article by Hesse Caplinger in the St. Louis Magazine (here). You can view Jill Downen's work on the Bruno David Gallery website (here). View catalogues on her exhibitions (here) and are available (here). You also can view videos (here).
