Dib Bangkok has acquired Caitlin Keogh’s ‘Procession’ (2024), a work comprising seven interconnected paintings, according to an announcement from the New York gallery Bortolami. The acquisition was announced on August 18, 2026. No financial details or information about the work’s future display were provided.
‘Procession’ brings together a range of art-historical references in a composition that does not follow a linear narrative. Instead, meaning develops through visual association across the seven paintings. Figures, mirrored forms and repeated motifs recur throughout the group, creating links between separate images and encouraging viewers to follow connections across different periods of visual culture.
Keogh developed the paintings from hand-cut collages made using source material. The collage process allows images to be layered and reassembled, with familiar forms shifting in meaning as they appear beside new elements. In Bortolami’s description, the work moves between past and present through memory, juxtaposition and repetition.
The acquisition adds a work by Keogh to the holdings of Dib Bangkok. The announcement does not identify Dib Bangkok’s collection policy or give further details about its institutional activities. It also does not state whether ‘Procession’ will be shown publicly or where the work will be installed.
Keogh was born in 1982 in Anchorage, Alaska, and is based in New York. Her recent exhibitions have included presentations at Bortolami in New York, Fondation Carmignac in Porquerolles, France, The Church in Sag Harbor, New York, the Akron Art Museum, the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, MoMA Warsaw, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Künstlerhaus Bremen, the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Queens Museum and MoMA PS1.
Her work is held in public and institutional collections including those of the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; the Whitney Museum of American Art; the Amorepacific Museum of Art in Seoul; the Rollins Museum of Art in Winter Park, Florida; and the Rhode Island School of Design Museum in Providence. Bortolami’s announcement was accompanied by an installation view of ‘Procession’ at the gallery’s New York space in 2024.
