The show culminates, shrine-like, with a tribute to Smith. At the apex of the gallery is a massive painting, a gorgeous, painterly version of Smith’s drawings. It’s surrounded by large-scale photographs of objects from her past: boots, a camera, a guitar neck, a dress from her childhood. The objects seem to glow with a totemic significance, and you leave the space struck and inspired by Smith’s range. That, it seems, is her intention: “My mission is to communicate, to wake people up, to give them my energy and accept theirs,” Smith says in Dream of Life. “We’re all in this together.”
