George Condo's Blues in D flat is one of more than 200 paintings, sculptures, and drawings gracing the walls of Shanghai's Long Museum—the artist's biggest exhibition in Asia to date. ⁠⁠⁠⁠

Part of his 2021 series of 'Blues Paintings', this staggering work continues Condo's figurative and abstract explorations of the human psyche while reminding viewers of the influence of music on his practice, which spans almost four decades.⁠⁠⁠⁠

In Hong Kong, Condo's Whistler's Father (2019) and Untitled (Artist and Muse) (2015) went up for auction at Sotheby's Contemporary Art Sales with estimates of (11,000,000 - 15,000,000 HKD).⁠⁠⁠⁠
