About The Work
Unlike James Rosenquist’s famed advertising paintings, Star Thief is not Pop, and it is not instantly interpretable. Rather, the night sky here is something cryptic and poetic; it could even be a metaphor for his artistic process and explorations. “The star is the ‘thief’ that brings you to all the places you didn’t originally plan to go,” Rosenquist has said. “It is like thinking: the more [thinking] you do, the deeper you go, and the more mysteries you see and want to discover.”
