There will be a drawing by Dana Schutz called «Building the Boat While Sailing,» from 2012, which speaks to the notion of artists trying to navigate life's tumultuous seas,
along with Mr. Ruscha's 2004
painting «The Old Tool & Die Building,» a
comment on American industry in a global age, and «Ruckenfigür,» Glenn Ligon's neon sign, from 2009, that spells out the word «America.»

comments: «I think the key to letting the
paintings make themselves is to regard the materials,
along with their contingent circumstances (and it's silly to think of circumstances as separable from an object anyway) as mental states, without distinction from a particular physical state.
