I find Sadie Coles HQ's curation of contemporary art to be incredibly original and speaks to an internationalism that resonates with me. Alex Da Corte’s work makes me curious because, how it appears is so different than what it could mean. I think it really showcases the state of our world today and although it feels “fast”, it makes you want to linger a little bit longer to see what it's all about.
Yayoi Kusama
Stars in the Boundless Universe, 2010
Acrylic on canvas
Sold
Presented by Victoria Miro
How people see differently truly fascinates me. There is so much to see physically and metaphysically. Kusama’s work reminds me that each of our life experiences are deeply personal and it is a reminder to find the people who see you and to appreciate this beautiful life that we live, together.
Günther Förg
Untitled, 2007
Acrylic on canvas
€ 415,000
Presented by White Cube
This quality of this work is important to remind me of how fortunate I am to have learned from world-class designers, artists and professionals at a very young age. I thank my parents for giving me that.
Whenever I have encounter Emin’s work in person during my travels to London or elsewhere, it becomes a deeply-rooted memory. There is a rawness about the work that I find inspiring. Though I have never met Emin in person, I do follow her on instagram, and whenever I do see her work, in a way, I feel proud… Perhaps we are meant to be friends in another universe.
Glenn Kaino
Pass the Baton, 2021
NFT
Under $5k
Presented by Pace
This is interesting and feels like it’s the right way to engage in the world of NFTs and the Crypto-giving structure.
