SELECTIONS FROM THE HAMMER CONTEMPORARY COLLECTION

The magician, actor, writer, and collector Ricky Jay is rendered here by Glenn Kaino in playing cards, one of the tools in Jay’s magician’s quiver.
Kaino studies the history and practice of magic as a parallel to art making: both artists and magicians develop finely honed skills to create illusions
that rely on their audience’s willing suspension of disbelief. This homage to the widely respected Jay is a nod both to op art and to
the magician’s long-held card-throwing record. From certain angles, the work appears as a jumble of planes and colors,
but from just the right vantage point, the cards coalesce into Jay’s unmistakable visage.

Extraordinary Exhibitions: Broadsides from the Collection of Ricky Jay was presented at the Hammer Museum in 2007,
and Kaino donated this portrait to the Hammer Contemporary Collection in honor of Jay.
