📢 Editor’s Updates

Frieze New York, featuring 68 galleries with representation across 25 countries, took place this weekend. Notable sales included:

• Doris Salcedo’s Dismembered XIV, represented by White Cube Gallery, which sold for $1M

• Hauser & Wirth Gallery sold a painting by Ed Clark for $850K

• Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery sold an artwork by Tony Cragg for €725K

and much more. Needless to say, we were not there as buyers 🥲. However, here are 3 artists represented at the Fair that we think you should know:

Holly Hendry — Stephen Friedman Gallery

Through playful sculptures and installations, Hendry probes complex systems within familiar structures, examining what lies beneath the surface. At Frieze, her focus was on the mundane office cubicle — which the Frieze booths are quite reminiscent of — exploring the tension between permanence and impermanence.

david de jesus do nascimento — Mitre Galeria

A riverbank artist from Brazil, nascimento presents earth-toned paintings, drawings, photographs and more, deeply influenced by community, family, and their relationship with the environment. His work radiates spirituality and offers a profound sense of connection with the earth, with themes of metamorphosis and water flow.

Leyla Faye — Company Gallery

Through large-scale, figurative works, Leyla Faye explores the nuanced nature of identity, particularly its fragmented essence. Her presentation at Frieze featured traditional dollhouse, with each painting depicting the same figure in a unique world and distinct self. These works creatively reject the boundaries of the canvas, protruding with found materials.
