By PAUL LASTER, July 2020

Featuring 110 art and design galleries from 28 countries, the virtual version of Intersect Aspen (formerly Art Aspen) brings a global point of view to the picturesque alpine resort, which has become a haven for art collectors over the past 20 years.

Home to the Shigeru Ban-designed Aspen Art Museum, which is currently presenting solo shows of works by Kelly Akashi, Maren Hassinger, Oscar Murillo, Rose Wylie and Lisa Yuskavage, and to the artists workshops oriented Anderson Ranch Art Center, which invited artists—including Petah Coyne, Elliott Hundley and Fred Tomaselli—to make exquisite corpse drawings for it’s Un-Gala fundraiser and has the outdoor sculpture show Socially Distanced, with works by Ghada, Amer, Sanford Biggers, Paula Crown and others, on view through September 2021, Aspen annually attracts artists, curators and collectors from around the world. 

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year’s physical fair was replaced by an online exhibition with viewing rooms presenting an international array of art and design. We’ve picked some of our favorite works—ranging from Rhonda Wall’s collage paintings tackling our ever-changing social circumstances at Paris’ Galerie Anne de Villepoix and Adrienne Elise Tarver’s depiction of contemporary black women as Three Graces at Victori+Mo Contemporary from New York to Nick Knight large-scale, photographic still lives of luscious floral arrangements at Albion Barn from Oxford and OrtaMiklos and Otto du Plessis’ fantastical furniture designs at New York’s Friedman Benda and Cape Town’s Southern Guild, respectively.
