We say decaying fine art, but the work of Valerie Hegarty is just so much more. Ravaged paitings, melting canvas, cracked walls, weathered works are all the characteristics of Hegarty's work, who we became familiar with when the work was exhibited on the High Line and then in Marlborough Gallery in NYC earlier this year. The New Yorker called the work a look into "waning powers of a nation and fractured affairs of state." Perhaps of all culture in general?
