At the center of this form, there is a vibrant, purple circular motif surrounded by a colorful, abstract pattern that appears to be made up of various small shapes and textures.

francesca kaufmann gallery opened in January 2000. Since then, the gallery has aimed to explore a diverse range of media, with a focus on video, site specific installation, and a special attention towards the works of female artists.
