Anna Weyant at Blum&Poe LA
Anna Weyant (born 1995) is a Canadian New York City–based artist whose figurative paintings blend influence from the Dutch Golden Age with an awareness of contemporary popular culture and social media.
Weyant has been represented globally since May 2022 by Gagosian Gallery, owned by Larry Gagosian (born 1945), whom Weyant began dating in 2021.
In May 2022, Weyant’s Falling Woman (2020) sold for US$1.62 million at Sotheby’s in New York. Prior to joining Gagosian Gallery, the artist's work received very little attention from curators, critics, and the media. Weyant and her relationship with Larry Gagosian have since been extensively discussed in the media, with several critics connecting the relationship to Weyant's fast rise to prominence and high auction results so early in her career.
