Jordan Casteel Joins Massimo De Carlo GalleryJordan Casteel is now jointly represented by Casey Kaplan Gallery in New York and Massimo De Carlo, which maintains spaces in Milan, London, and Hong Kong. A work by Casteel, who is known for her figurative paintings, appeared on the cover of Vogue last fall and was subsequently put on long-term loan to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art by collectors Pamela J. Joyner and Alfred J. Giuffrida. Casteel said in an interview with ARTnews last year that protests focused on racial justice have inspired her “in the sense that my practice is centered on the most authentic version of the world that I can find.”
