About this event

In his Hidden Portraits series, Hermes digitally rearranges elements already present in the original artwork, concealing faces and drawing attention to dress, status and self-presentation.

On view September 16–October 29, 2026 at 44DeVore. Visits are by appointment Monday–Thursday, 11 a.m.–6 p.m.; use the gallery’s official page for its appointment contact details. Admission pricing is not stated.
