Walker Fine Art proudly announces the unveiling of a spectacular collection showcasing the genius of M.C. Escher alongside a diverse array of contemporary artists, cementing its reputation as a premier destination for modern and contemporary art enthusiasts. At the heart of the exhibition lies an unparalleled assembly of works by the late Dutch artist M.C. Escher (1898–1972).

Walker Fine Art is honored to present the world's most extensive collection of Escher's watercolors, sketches, lithographs, and woodcuts, offering a rare opportunity for art aficionados to immerse themselves in the intricate and mesmerizing creations of this iconic master. Complementing Escher's legacy are original paintings by the acclaimed American artist Audrey Keeperman. Influenced by the mathematical intricacies found in Escher's work, Keeperman's art captivates with its exploration of cubic plane curves, bringing a contemporary twist to the timeless allure of mathematical aesthetics. In addition to these luminaries, Walker Fine Art proudly champions emerging talents whose groundbreaking creations have redefined the boundaries of artistic expression. Since 2020, the gallery has fostered partnerships with visionary artists such as Stikman, renowned for his symbolic self-portraits adorning walls and sidewalks. Exclusive limited-edition paintings, drawings, prints, as well as laser-cut steel and enamel paint sculptures by Stikman await discerning collectors at Walker Fine Art. The gallery's commitment to showcasing diverse perspectives extends to internationally acclaimed artists like the surrealist Roberto Matta (1911-2002) from Chile and the celebrated American sculptor Ernest Trova (1927–2009), known for his iconic stainless-steel sculptures. Furthermore, Walker Fine Art proudly introduces new additions to its roster, including the visionary Italian painter Donato Giancola, whose imaginative works seamlessly blend science fiction, fantasy, robotics, and mythology. Joining Giancola is the vibrant and dynamic Italian artist Mirko, whose neo-Pop-expressionistic style breathes new life into the contemporary art scene.

This extraordinary collection also includes works by Cole Franklin, whose surreal canvases convey messages born from extended meditation, as well as Joseph Summers, Australian-Singaporean Richard Hassell, and Japanese master printer Yozo Hamaguchi (1909–2000), each contributing their unique perspectives to the gallery's diverse repertoire.
