In recent years, Amalia Pica has become interested in traditional office environments, and in response has started to create playful sculptures that explore the tediousness of the material culture of working life. The paperweight sculptures consist of recognizable yet disparate objects such as children’s toys, studio supplies, and items collected from nature, that she arranges in surreal compositions.

$100-250k
Presented by Karma, D6
Kathleen Ryan’s (b. 1984, Los Angeles, CA) sculptures recast found and handmade objects as spectacular, larger-than-life symbols of Americana. As in Dutch vanitas paintings, the relics of the everyday—seed pods, jewellery, domestic fixtures, mouldy fruit—become tongue-in-cheek allegories for sexuality, decadence, and the cycle of life.

William Kentridge
Goat, 2021
Bronze
$ 500,000
Presented by Goodman Gallery, A10
William Kentridge’s ‘glyph’ sculptures start out as ink drawings and paper cut-outs. These forms are then transformed into bronzes, to embody the weight and character their shapes on paper suggested - in the process abstract forms become recognisable entities, as in this goat sculpture.
Carol Bove
Mars in Capricorn, 2021
Stainless steel and urethane paint
$500k-1m
Presented by David Zwirner, B14
Made by deftly manipulating and crushing steel tubing painted in vibrant colour, Carol Bove’s new sculptures convey an apparent lightness that belies their materiality.
