Is it a Series? A Collection? Or just One Painting at a Time? [202]

Published: April 4, 2023, 3 a.m.

This week, we answer a listener question about what it means to work in a series. What is the difference between a series and a collection? And what is a "body of work"? As we break down the idea of a series, we cover the importance of an initial idea or line of inquiry; the role of parameters; and some of the things that could define a series. As always, we come at this from slightly different angles, but hopefully we can clear up some misconceptions about what it means when an artists says he or she 'works in a series.'
