The Hulett Collection is announcing Cowboys & Queens, an exhibition by photographer Jane Hilton, on view from September 19 to November 15, 2025.
Cowboys & Queens reflects the new modern-day American Dream. A utopian cocktail that celebrates the freedom and stance of the iconic working cowboy, with the flamboyance and inventiveness of the drag queen.
The inspiration is indisputable: from Sergio Leone and Tarantino, to Dorsey Swan and Ru Paul. Stunning blue skies and western landscapes by day, and the frisson of nightclubs and bars by night.
Both represent liberty and endless possibilities. A new frontier has emerged… …a new Americana.
Jane Hilton is an English photographer and filmmaker known for her evocative explorations of American culture, particularly the American West, which she has been documenting for over twenty-five years.
