Jon's Bandstand pieces have been selected by guest critic and New York gallery owner, Debra Klomp Ching, as this months Critic's Choice on the Troika Editions website.
"Jon Spencer has created photographs that are ethereal, at once very specific and yet so universal that the connection with the viewer is multifarious. The bandstands are indeed "silent sentinels", but they also call out ever so majestically"

I've just heard back from the art consultants, Degree Art, and the Interior Designers, Fox Linton, who were responsible for organising this commission - apparently the final piece 'exceeded the client's expectations'. That was good to hear !
You can see images of the piece here.

The Athenaeum Hotel on London's Picadilly has just taken delivery of the large photographic work they comisioned from Jon for their top floor Presidential Suite.
The Hotel and design team at Fox Linton Associates had seen examples of work from the Poliptych series and commissioned a piece to use similar visual language, but to bring together the numerous London landmarks that can be seen from the balcony of their Presidential Suite.
The resulting piece can be seen here. Jon worked with the good people at Degreet Art for this project.
