Roberts & Tilton is pleased to present a new sculptural installation by Daniel Joseph Martinez. “IF YOU DRINK HEMLOCK, I SHALL DRINK IT WITH YOU or A BEAUTIFUL DEATH; player to player, pimp to pimp. (As performed by the inmates of the Asylum of Charenton under the direction of the Marque de Sade)” is an immersive environment referencing Jacque Louis David’s seminal portrait “The Death of Marat” (1793). Whereas David’s painting represents a single moment, Martinez’s homage is conceived as a mise en scène, constantly oscillating between past and present.
