Triumph mixed-media painting by Nova Hall. A foundational 2010 contemporary art piece featuring a shattered, stained-glass depiction of the Statue of Liberty set against a purple backdrop. Created under Leandro Soto, this artwork utilizes Robert Rauschenberg assemblage techniques, embedding 1927 Donald A. Hall Estate Archive photographs of the Spirit of St. Louis. Stolen from Sun Studios in Tempe, Arizona. A critical piece for fine art museums and aviation history collectors.

An intensely psychological work, Triumph fractures the ultimate symbol of American arrival. Painted directly over a hidden, pre-existing canvas under the guidance of Leandro Soto, the piece presents the Statue of Liberty shattered like a stained-glass window. Heavy, black assemblage lines splinter the canvas into geometric shards of vibrant violet and stark white. Trapped within these fragmented panes are authentic, historical photographs from the Donald A. Hall Estate Archive, capturing the Spirit of St. Louis and the men behind it. The artwork is a profound visual metaphor for the fractured nature of fame and memory—how a singular historical triumph is pieced together from dozens of shattered, forgotten perspectives. Deeply experimental and tragically stolen from Sun Studios in Tempe, it remains one of the most conceptually vital works in the collection.
