Table Tennis has been a constant source of entertainment and inspiration for Ron Arad, both as a design object and as a recreational activity. The concave surface of “New Ping Pong” (2008–2015) is brilliant example of Arad’s design. Polished to a high gloss, the curved table made of stainless-steel, was designed to slow down the pace of the game and make rallies last longer. In this way, a game that normally runs at high speeds is transformed into a relaxed pastime.

“I could not help but wonder what else I could have done do with this magical material. So I thought about doing something that would allow us to enjoy the material in a completely new and different way.” – Ron Arad

Among the most honored Arad’s architectural projects are interior design for the Opera and Performing Art Center in Tel Aviv, a flagship store of fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto in Tokyo and the Design Museum Holon in Israel. Artist’s public projects include: ‘Big Blue’ in Canary Wharf (London), ‘Evergreen!’ (Tokyo), ‘Kesher’ (Tel Aviv), and ‘Vortext’ (Seoul). In 2016, a mobile 16-meter ‘Spyre’ sculpture graced the entrance to the Royal Academy of Arts in London. In 2013, Ron Arad was made a Royal Academician of the Royal Academy of Arts.

Artist’s work graces private and public collections all over the globe, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, USA), the Victoria and Albert Museum (London, UK), Design Museum (London, UK), Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art (Amsterdam, Netherlands), Musée National d’Art Moderne/ Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris, France), Museum of Modern Art (New York, USA), Powerhouse (Sydney, Australia), Design Museum (Osaka, Japan).

The work seamlessly combines techniques and methods inspired by Francisco Goya, Marc Chagall, and Francis Bacon, whose approaches Condo adapts and radically reimagines within his unique style and visual aesthetics.

Works by George Condo are held in major public and private collections around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, as well as Tate Modern in London.

Improvisation played a central role in his work. Drawing on a musical understanding of abstraction, Chubarov conceived his paintings as symphonic in nature. Devoid of a traditional focal point, his compositions are dynamic and all-over, defying classical balance and rejecting compositional hierarchy. This radical approach, which he referred to as "non-relational art," disrupted conventional notions of harmony, color relationships, and form.

Evgeny Chubarov’s works are held in established private and museum collections, including the Pushkin State Museum (Moscow), the Tretyakov Gallery, the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, Rutgers University Museum (USA), and the Osthaus Museum in Hagen (Germany). In the 2000s, he was awarded a grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation.

His legacy, comprising hundreds of paintings and works on paper alongside a substantial body of sculpture, remains a significant contribution to the development of abstract art and visual culture in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Halley’s work offers a sustained critique of technological rationalism and the spatial logic of contemporary life. His paintings, drawings, and Kodaliths raise broader questions about how abstraction can both reflect and interrogate the mediated structures that shape human experience.

Recognized as a key voice in postmodern abstraction, Halley has profoundly influenced generations of artists and thinkers through both his visual practice and his critical writing.

His works have been exhibited widely and are held in major public collections, including the Tate Modern (London, UK), the Art Institute of Chicago (USA), the Museum of Modern Art (New York, USA), and the Dallas Museum of Art (Dallas, USA), among many others.

Miller is best known for a series of relief assemblages formed from found objects and synthetic low-end merchandise coated with a layer of paint that he began to make in the mid-1980s. In 2008, he began gilding the reliefs using imitation gold. The metallic shimmer of gold-plated objects evokes an unconscious attraction, drawing viewer's eyes to the shiny surfaces. Only on a closer look, these gold-painted details turn out to be the low-cost household items. Taken together, these objects are devoid of practical application and portray a mock reflection of average life.

'All that glitters is not gold' – the contrast between the illusion of luxury and the disappointment of the sudden loss of value of the object reflects Miller's position on the validity of art in consumer culture.

One of Holzer’s key projects is the Top Secret series – the paintings based on declassified documents from the U.S. National Security Archive relating to military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. At first glance, these works resemble abstract paintings, referencing the aesthetics of Kazimir Malevich, Ad Reinhardt, or the meditative surfaces of Mark Rothko: soft pastel tones and geometric compositions create a sense of calm and stillness. However, on closer inspection, it becomes clear that beneath these color fields are reproductions of pages containing redacted text. Most of the content has been blacked out or obscured by censorship, and the bright blocks of color function as visualizations of erasure. What remains are gaps and traces—fragments of meaning overlaid on silented testimony.

By turning archival material into near-abstraction, Holzer evokes the loss of truth—once recorded in language but now inaccessible. In this tension between aesthetic surface and documentary content, she exposes the mechanisms of concealment and the distortion of reality in an era of political opacity.

Jenny Holzer’s work is held in major museums and public collections around the world, including the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, among many others.
