Donald Sultan (b. 1951) is one of the leading figures of the so-called “New Image” movement that emerged in New York in the late 1970s. Known for his bold formal language and industrial materials, Sultan bridges minimalism and representation, reducing everyday subjects—flowers, fruit, playing cards—into powerful, iconic forms. His works are defined by strong silhouettes, dramatic contrasts, and a refined surface treatment that gives familiar motifs a monumental presence. Throughout his career, Sultan has exhibited internationally and is represented in major museum collections, solidifying his place as a distinctive voice in contemporary American art.
Silver Flowers, March 3, 2011 exemplifies Sultan’s enduring fascination with the floral motif, transformed here into a striking study of texture and contrast. Executed as a silkscreen with hand-applied black silica on Saunders Waterford 410gsm hot-press paper, the work combines mechanical precision with tactile, almost sculptural surface depth. The shimmering silver forms sit in bold dialogue with the richly textured black elements, creating a dynamic tension between elegance and weight. Measuring 38 × 38 inches (96.5 × 96.5 cm.), the composition commands space while retaining graphic clarity. Signed and numbered from an edition of 75, this work reflects Sultan’s masterful ability to elevate a traditional subject into a contemporary, materially complex statement.
