- Lot Description
LOT #17 Melissa Cooke Benson The Family Jewels, 2020 Graphite on paper 50 x 37 _ in.; 55 x 44 in. framed $3,800-$4,800 Melissa Cooke Benson's hyper-realistic graphite drawings record some of the trying, transformative experience of domesticity during a global pandemic. When isolation is the order of the day, stress and boredom begin to stretch the seams of home life. Benson was able to decompress, savor moments of silliness, and document the passage of time with large-scale works depicting everyday moments. The Family Jewels finds Benson's daughter donning an extravagant necklace as a collapsed tiara; the sparkling stones mirror the child's intricate lace collar. The title of the work does double duty, referring to the preciousness of both necklace and child.
