    Galerie Lelong & Co., New York is pleased to announce the installation of Leonardo Drew's Number 411 (2024) at Phoenix Art Museum, Arizona. Drew's latest site-specific work, Number 411 was recently acquired into the Museum’s collection through the generosity of Men’s Arts Council and The Opatrny Family Foundation.

    Number 411 makes its debut in the exhibition The Collection: 1960 – Now, on ongoing view. The work is demonstrative of Drew's practice of transforming varied new materials into expressive assemblage, often hand-distressing raw ingredients to evoke the cyclical nature of life and decay, and the erosion of time. Number 411 is at once monumental in scale and intimate in its detail, which embodies the labored process of writing oneself into history.
