CHRISTOPHER RUSSELL, EXPLOSION, 2016, PHOSPHORESCENT INK ON ETCHED PHOTOGRAPH, 36 X 24 INCHES, COLLECTION OF THE LAGUNA ART MUSEUM

Mark Moore Fine Art is proud to announce that the Laguna Art Museum has acquired a second major mixed-media work by artist Christopher Russell for its permanent collection.

Christopher Russell is best known for scratching drawings into his photographs. Underlying that process is an expansive practice that intersects drawing, narrative fiction, photography and the raw materiality of the photographic substrate.

Mark Moore Fine Art Proudly Announces: Mark Bennett’s The Home of The Addams Family (The Addams Family) Joins Museum of Fine Arts, Houston Permanent Collection

Posted on November 7, 2026 | Leave a comment

MARK BENNETT, THE HOME OF THE ADDAMS FAMILY (THE ADDAMS FAMILY), 1995, LITHOGRAPH ON COVENTRY PAPER, 24 × 36 IN (61 × 91.4 CM), COLLECTION OF THE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, HOUSTON

Mark Moore Fine Art is proud to announce that the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston has acquired a major work by artist Mark Bennett for its permanent collection.

Mark Bennett’s whimsical works engage with pop culture and celebrity to an extreme degree. His blueprint lithographs of Baby Boom era sitcoms and popular television series depict the ultimate pairing of flight of fancy and stoical logic — purely imaginary floor plans grounded by the dry format of an architect’s design.

Mark Moore Fine Art is proud to announce that the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) has acquired a major work by artist MARK BENNETT for its permanent collection. 

Mark Bennett‘s (b. 1956, Tennessee) whimsical works engage with pop culture and celebrity to an extreme degree. His blueprint lithographs of Baby Boom era sitcoms and popular television series depict the ultimate pairing of flight of fancy and stoical logic; the purely imaginary floor plans grounded by the dry format of an architect’s design. His works are both pleasingly nostalgic and vaguely disconcerting in their premonition of a society obsessed by television and celebrity culture. Earning reverence from both critics and collectors alike, Bennett has been coined a master of nostalgia and social evaluation, acting as “the most earnest of his generation of West Coast artists drawing on popular culture” (Grady T. Turner, Art in America). 

Since his induction into the gallery in 1995, Bennett has been included in over three dozen significant museum and group exhibitions, including those at the Corcoran Gallery of Art (D.C.), Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art (CT), Walker Art Center (MN) and Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA). Mark Bennett is in the Public Collections of several prestigious institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, NY, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in Los Angeles, CA. His works are also part of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Portland Art Museum in Portland, OR. Additionally, he is represented in The Contemporary Museum in Honolulu, Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN, and the New York Public Library in New York, NY. Other notable collections include the Orange County Museum of Art in Newport Beach, CA, the Children’s Museum in Indianapolis, IN, and the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery at St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY. His works can also be found at the University of Colorado in Boulder, CO, and the List Visual Arts Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA. He is included in the collections of Microsoft Corporation in Redmond, WA, and the West Collection in Oaks, PA, as well as the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, CA and the Laguna Art Museum in Laguna Beach, CA. Further representations can be found at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art at Utah State University. His artwork is also housed in the Museum of Fine Art in Houston, the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, CA, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation in Los Angeles, CA, Seattle Art Museum, Herbert F. Johnson Museum at Cornell University, and the McNay Museum in San Antonio, TX. 

The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) at UTC is Tennessee’s first Institute of Contemporary Art. Housed in the Fine Arts Center at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, it serves as a creative epicenter and public gallery, bringing regional, national, and international contemporary art to the campus and the broader Chattanooga community. Founded in 2021, the ICA evolved from the university’s longstanding Cress Gallery of Art. While the former gallery primarily focused on local talent, student, and faculty shows, the ICA was launched to expand the space’s purpose, bringing in bold, adventurous contemporary exhibitions that foster creativity and artistic inquiry.

It showcases significant works of modern and contemporary art, including pieces by Picasso, Van Gogh, Hopper, O’Keeffe, and Pollock, alongside extensive prints, drawings, and theater arts, set within beautiful landscaped grounds featuring sculptures.

Mark Moore Fine Art proudly announces that the McNay Art Museum has acquired ‘Holiday, Atlanta. GA’ (2016) by Amy Elkins for its permanent collection

AMY ELKINS (AMERICAN, B. 1979)
“HOLIDAY, ATLANTA. GA”, 2016
VERSO ARCHIVAL PRINT
20 X 24 IN — EDITIONS 1-5, AP1, AP2 OF 5 + 2AP
COLLECTION OF THE MCNAY ART MUSEUM

Mark Moore Fine Art is proud to announce that the McNay Art Museum has acquired ‘Holiday, Atlanta. GA’ (2016) by artist Amy Elkins for its permanent collection.

Elkins works primarily in photography and installation, exploring the complexities of gender, race, and identity — including how they are impacted by systems of power: prisons, the military, colonization, and hierarchies built upon social constructs. Her approach is series-based, steeped in research, oscillating between the formal, conceptual, and documentary.

Elkins received her BFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts and her MFA in Art Practice from Stanford University. Her first book, Black is the Day, Black is the Night, won the 2017 Lucie Independent Book Award. She is based in Berkeley and Sacramento, CA.

A pen pal 26 years into his sentence in a landlocked prison, described an early childhood memory that haunted him, of walking further and further into the ocean during low tide until the sudden depth and darkness before him overcame him with fear.
Mark Moore Fine Art is proud to announce that LAGUNA ART MUSEUM has acquired an important work by artist AMY ELKINS for its permanent collection. 

Amy Elkins (American, b. 1979) is a visual artist and educator based in Berkeley and Sacramento, CA. She received her BFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts and her MFA in Art Practice from Stanford University.  She works primarily in photography and installation and has spent the past fifteen years researching, creating and exhibiting work that explores the complexities of gender, race and identity, including how they are impacted by systems of power: prisons, the military, colonization, and hierarchies built upon social constructs.  Most recently Elkins’ work pivots to include explorations of self as well as her family’s deeply rooted and complex history in Southern California as an 8th generation born on Tongva/Gabrielino land in the greater Los Angeles area with the ancestral blood of both colonized and colonizer.  Her approach is series-based, steeped in research and oscillates between formal, conceptual and documentary.

Elkins has been exhibited and published both nationally and internationally, including at The High Museum of Art in Atlanta, GA; South Bend Museum of Art in South Bend IN; MSU Broad Museum in Lansing, MI; Kunsthalle Wien in Vienna; the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, AZ; the Minneapolis Institute of Arts; North Carolina Museum of Art and more.  Her photographs have been published in American Photo, Conveyor, Dear Dave, EyeMazing, Financial Times, Harpers, Huffington Post, Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, NY Arts, New York Times, New Yorker, PDN, Real Simple, Stella and Vice among many others.   She was recently awarded a Fleishhacker Foundation Eureka Fellowship and Kala Media Arts Fellowship.  Past awards include the Aperture Portfolio Prize,  Peter S. Reed Foundation grant, Cadogan Award and more. 

Founded in 1918, the Laguna Art Museum is located at 307 Cliff Drive in Laguna Beach, CA. It is the oldest cultural institution in Orange County. Dedicated exclusively to California art, the museum preserves the state’s history through a permanent collection of over 3,500 works spanning from 1860 to the present. The museum began as the Laguna Beach Art Association, formed by a small group of local artists (including Edgar Payne, who served as its first president in 1920). In 1929, the association opened a custom-built gallery designed by noted Los Angeles architect Myron Hunt. This original space is now preserved as the museum’s Steele Gallery. It was renamed the Laguna Beach Museum of Art in 1972 and took on its current name in 1986 following an expansion.
