Nora Turato: Govern Me Harder

“I’m super intrigued by the artist Nora Turato, who I recently met at her Sprüth Magers show in L.A. She studied graphic design before her break into art, so she uses large-scale text in a lot of her works in a fascinating way. I’m also really drawn to her performance-based work.”

Karat EG Eau de Parfum
