In 2025, Dorothy Circus Gallery proudly partnered with leading brands and international institutions to present our artists in new and inspiring contexts. Among the many collaborations, three milestones stood out for their resonance and scale.
GIHUN LEE x MERCEDES-BENZ AND ÜBERFISCH
During a month-long residency in Berlin, Gihun Lee created an entirely new body of work that was unveiled at the Urban Art Event hosted by Mercedes-Benz and Überfisch. This collaboration not only positioned Lee at the crossroads of contemporary art and global brand culture, but also introduced his unique visual language to an international audience of collectors and tastemakers. The event underscored his rapid ascent as one of the most promising voices of his generation.
ANDREA KOWCH AT THE FORT WAYNE MUSEUM OF ART
A defining moment of the year came with the acquisition of Andrea Kowch’s Matriarch by the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. Originally part of the Dorothy Circus Gallery Collection, the work now forms a centerpiece of the museum’s landmark exhibition Truthful Illusions: Realism in the Age of Abstraction. This institutional recognition not only celebrates Kowch’s mastery in contemporary realism, but also highlights DCG’s commitment to supporting artists whose works resonate within both private and public collections.
RYOKO KANETA DRAGON CINTRÈE CURVEX - LIMITED EDITION RELEASE
In a remarkable dialogue between fine art and haute horlogerie, Swiss watchmaker Franck Muller partnered with Japanese artist Ryoko Kaneta to unveil the Cintrée Curvex Ryoko Kaneta Dragon. Limited to just 500 pieces worldwide, this release represents a rare fusion of technical precision and artistic imagination, bringing Kaneta’s ethereal universe into the realm of collectible design objects. The collaboration elevated her reach beyond the gallery walls, engaging new audiences across art, luxury, and craftsmanship.
Collaboration with bonobolabo: new limited edition skateboards
Our collaboration with Italian design house Bonobolabo brought to life a new series of limited-edition skateboardsfeaturing original artworks by Shamsia Hassani, Gihun Lee, and Joe Sorren. Each edition was accompanied by unique artist proofs with exclusive drawings, merging contemporary art with urban culture.
DCG REPRESENTED ARTIST LUKE CHUEH PRESENTED AT MACA MUSEUM

NEW COLLABORATION WITH VANGART: LIMITED EDITION EBROIDERY PRINT
Continuing our exploration of craft and innovation, we collaborated with French atelier Vangart on a limited-edition embroidery print of Joe Sorren’s Mother and Child, translating his painterly sensibility into textile form.
MILLO UNVEILS FIRST INFLATABLE INSTALLATION
Finally, 2025 marked a new chapter for Millo, who unveiled The Lovers in the heart of Rome — his first-ever inflatable installation, expanding his practice into the realm of public, experiential art.
