From a mysterious Jim Jarmusch collage to Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork’s coat of human hair
Catherine Wagner, Darkroom, Florida, 1995
Archival pigment print, 1.1 × 1.4 m. Presented by Jessica Silverman, $25,000
For Catherine Wagner, classrooms, building sites, amusement parks and street corners are ‘accidental landscapes’ – locations to observe how American narratives of gender, place and history are written into architecture. Shot on large-format film, Wagner’s subjects emerge in full drama and detail.
Tamara Gonzales, Limassol Mosaic No.4, 2025
Glass mosaic tile mounted on aluminium honeycomb board with maple frame, 123 × 91 cm. Presented by The Pit, $25,000
Blending popular culture with mythology, Tamara Gonzales is inspired by ceremonial ritual across Hindu puja, Wicca, Catholicism and ancestor worship. This is one of Gonzales’s first mosaic works, derived from her drawings and paintings.
Kishio Suga, Submerged Thoughts in Void, 2024
Wood and acrylic, 62 × 45 × 9 cm. Presented by Johyun Gallery, $20,000
Emerging as a pioneer of site-specific installation art in Japan in the late 1960s, Kishio Suga works in deep affinity with his environment, pairing the natural with the man-made – a practice he called ‘fieldwork’. Suga’s new, small-scale assemblages extend this material dialogue.
Maria A. Guzmán Capron, Espejo, 2024
Hand dyed and screen printed fabrics and thread, 1.8 × 1.4 m. Presented by Nazarian / Curcio, $22,500
Maria A. Guzmán Capron works with recycled, off-cut and bought fabrics. Through this fusion of commonplace and luxury fibres, Capron draws a parallel between the material hierarchies of art and fashion and the power dynamics at play within class and gender.
Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork, Sound Blanket No.10, 2022
Wool, synthetic hair, artist’s own hair, buttons, satin lining and steel hardware, 62 × 55 × 11 cm. Presented by François Ghebaly, $15,000
Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork is keenly attuned to the way the built environment shapes our reception of sound. In response, she deploys architectures of her own – vinyl sheeting, acoustic foam, felted blankets, hair – to bend and reform sonic experience.
Jim Jarmusch, Untitled, 2020
Newsprint collage on paper in artist’s frame, 31 × 39 cm. Presented by James Fuentes. $7,000
Collage might not be the first medium you associate with Jim Jarmusch, but the filmmaker has been collecting and assembling newspaper clippings for decades. Detaching subjects from their original contexts and working without a predetermined image in mind, Jarmusch likens his approach to automatic writing.
Debra Cartwright, Tidewater, 2024
Oil on canvas, 122 × 122 × 5 cm. Presented by Welancora Gallery. $10k – $20k
The daughter of a gynaecologist, Debra Cartwright depicts the relationship between the Black female body and the American healthcare system. Setting female subjects within waterscapes, Cartwright’s latest paintings explore migration and maternal lineage within the African American community.
Haegue Yang, Hardware Store Collage – Bauhaus Kitchen Sinks #2, 2015
Clippings from hardware store catalogues on chromolux paper, mounted on alu-dibond, 51 × 51 cm (framed). Presented by Kukje Gallery. $20,000
Haegue Yang’s large-scale installations dramatically reimagine domestic objects, such as her suspension of 500 venetian blinds from the ceiling of London’s Tate Modern. This transformative approach to the everyday continues in Yang’s ‘Hardware Store Collages’, a series she began in 1994, interested in the product catalogues she found on her arrival to Germany from Seoul. The series has since expanded to chart society’s shift towards technological commodities, including the likes of air bags, QLEDs, medical equipment and more.
Hannelore Baron, Untitled, 1983
Mixed media collage with fabric, paper, ink and monoprint, 24 × 21 cm. Presented by Michael Rosenfeld Gallery. $10,000
Hannelore Baron practised an ‘art of concealment and protection’, using her mixed media practice as a means of expressing and escaping the depression and phobias she experienced following her persecution as a Jewish child in Nazi Germany.
