As part of Artists Circle’s scope for law firm Akin Gump, we repurposed some of their existing artwork collection into their new space. The painting above is a piece from artist Agnes Jacobs, who is known for her 3-dimensional mixed media wall construction and brightly colored/textured monotype prints. She has had her work featured in the Washington Convention Center, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, and several corporate offices such as Akin Gump.

Although the pieces were not new to the firm, nor the individuals who work there, many employees were shocked at the transformation of space once the pieces were reconfigured in the new building. According to Sr. Associate and COO Katie Giganti, “Many of the employees who walked by thought it was brand new!” Seeing art in a newly designed area, along with new content, and oftentimes better lighting, can really help bring it to life as it was intended to be.
