Catherine Walsh, a former cosmetics executive at Estée Lauder and Revlon who pioneered celebrity fragrances at Coty, recounts her journey from buying her first Harry Callahan photograph at age 22 to building a minimalist art collection. She commissioned architect John Pawson to design a house in Telluride, Colorado, after a lecture, and has since acquired works by Gerhard Richter, Donald Judd, Jenny Holzer, Josef Albers, and a 17th-century Dutch portrait, among others.

His practice, which he terms 'metafictionism,' utilizes fine-line drawing to create layered compositions where figures navigate unstable, theatrical urban environments. Influenced by his upbringing in an East London Hare Krishna community, Koseda’s work focuses on how belief systems and social fabrics are mapped onto the physical and imagined spaces of the city.
