Tom Burr, Three (Hail the New Puritans), 2023, Painted wood panel; powder-coated aluminum panel and hardware; magazine (L’Uomo Vogue, Nov. 1985. Michael Clark cover); paper zine cover; inverted photograph of Billy Graham; hardware. 27 × 27 × 2 1/8 in (68.6 × 68.6 × 5.4 cm).

Featuring a selection from Tom Burr’s latest series of wood-mounted collages, Journal Works delicately alludes to Ellsworth Kelly’s monumental Sculpture for a Large Wall (1957). Alongside this reference, Burr culls materials from art history, shifting queer cultures, and his personal life as an artist, securing them in productive relation with each other.
