About

Gary Simmons and Star Iconography 

The star, both widely admired and yet signifying dissonant meanings of loss, hope, dreams and sadness, is one of Simmons’ most used symbols, which he explores through a range of media. In this print, the stars are rendered in an inky black, opposite to the conventional sparkling white, a reference to Marcus Garvey and his Black Star Line steam ship company. The stars rest upon a custom, coffee-infused ink made specifically with Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, a nod to the West Indies and connected to Simmons’ important sculptural installation ‘Recapturing Memories of the Black Ark’ (2014 – ongoing).

'Gary Simmons. This Must Be the Place' is on view 25 May through to 29 July 2023 at Hauser & Wirth London.
