About Curated by the Collector
The Curated by the Collector series was born out of Client Raiser’s mission to help artists to increase their client volume and the visibility of their work. After hosting several virtual exhibitions in response to the pandemic, Client Raiser enlisted four friends with notable art collections to curate online shows to share with a broader community. During each quarter of 2021, one of the curators will select five artists from Client Raiser’s roster for a new exhibition. Selected artists will then choose works to exhibit. In addition to selecting the artists, the curator will choose a charitable organization to receive 20% of Client Raiser’s proceeds.

Curator’s Statement
The artwork featured in American Lines connects our country’s past and present. Five artists, each with a unique process and medium – including found objects, mixed-media, painting, photography and video – coalesce around unflinching vistas into the United States. With impeccable techniques and informed narrations, each artist creates work that is emotionally powerful and without sentimentality or obfuscation. As we live through a global pandemic and in a nation divided, the most important art reflects, with rigorous honesty, this moment in time and inspiration for a better future. —Laura Ballman
