Tania Pérez Córdova
Vista a una ventana que pronto para ser derribada / View to a window soon to be teared down, 2022
Bronze poured into sand
143 cm x 103.5 cm x 2 cm
$10-20k
Presented by Tina Kim Gallery
The window alone is enough to catch my interest. I’m even more fascinated by how this window is supposedly about to be torn down. It can’t get any better.
Tauba Auerbach
Marble, 2019
Acrylic paint on paper
58.4 cm x 44.8 cm
$20-50k
Presented by Paula Cooper Gallery
This piece evokes the work of Ruth Asawa in my mind. I can’t unsee a wire sculpture here, full of movement, like it dove into Tauba’s paper to go swimming and the water was so warm it never wanted to come out.
Bob Thompson
Harvest Rest, 1964
Oil and graphite on canvas
45.7 cm x 61 cm
$500k-1m
Presented by Michael Rosenfeld Gallery
I love how ripe and delicious Bob’s paintings are. They are a great life of their own. Worlds and worlds of vibrancy and depth that keep unfolding, like a harvest and the people it feeds.
Mika Tajima
Art d'Ameublement (Falaise d'Entrecasteaux), 2023
Spray acrylic, thermoformed PETG
111.8 cm x 83.8 cm x 5.1 cm
Presented by Pace
This piece is beyond human. It defies time and space. It is its own world. Delicate and kind. I would like to be there.
Salvo
Capriccio, 1999
Oil on canvas
128 cm x 76 cm
Price on Application
Presented by Mazzoleni
I like this painting because it seems not to take itself too seriously. It’s absurd, yet matter-of-fact, it’s modern and it’s ancient, it makes me feel small, it makes me want to take risks, it’s pretty, it’s ugly. It takes your mood and lays it out in front of you. A “mirror of the soul”, as Gibran says.
