PHILLIPS ANNOUNCES HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE OCTOBER EDITIONS & WORKS ON PAPER AUCTIONS IN NEW YORK

From Salvador Dalí's Surrealist Chess Set and Giorgio Morandi Masterworks to a Remarkable Selection of Works by Andy Warhol, Sale Series to Showcase the Breadth of Modern and Contemporary Printmaking

NEW YORK – 7 OCTOBER 2026 – Phillips is pleased to present highlights from the Fall 2026 Editions & Works on Paper auctions in New York, spanning three distinct sales across the house’s live and online platforms. Featuring works by Salvador Dalí, Giorgio Morandi, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Yayoi Kusama, and David Hockney, the series begins on Thursday, 22 October, with Modernism and the Editions & Works on Paper Evening Sale. The sale continues on Saturday, 24 October, with this session including works from the personal collection of celebrated gallerist Vivian Horan. The season will conclude with an online sale comprising 109 no-reserve lots, open for bidding from 20-28 October. Ahead of the sales, Phillips welcomes the collecting community in to view the works in person at 432 Park Avenue from 15–23 October.

Kelly Troester and Cary Leibowitz, Deputy Chairpersons and Worldwide Co-Heads of Editions, said “On the heels of our fantastic September sales in London, our October offerings in New York underscore the remarkable depth and diversity of the Editions and Works on Paper category, from rare Surrealist masterworks and exceptional Modernist prints to iconic Post-War and Contemporary editions. The three auctions we are proud to present bring together outstanding examples by artists including Victor Brauner, Yves Tanguy, Many Ray, Roy Lichtenstein, Hank Willis Thomas, Pat Steir and many more. Together, they reflect the enduring appeal of the medium and the continued enthusiasm we are seeing from collectors worldwide.”

Modernism

Returning for its fourth season, Modernism comprises 63 lots by leading American and European avant-garde masters, showing the continued strength in demand for the category. The sale features rare and exceptional works by Surrealist masters including Salvador Dalí, Yves Tanguy, Man Ray, André Masson, Joan Miró, Victor Brauner, and David Smith. Leading the group is Dalí's rare Échecs (Hommage à Marcel Duchamp) (Chess, Homage to Marcel Duchamp). Created circa 1971, the complete set of 32 silver- and gold-vermeil chess pieces was cast from the artist's and his wife Gala's fingers, Dalí's teeth, and the salt and pepper shakers of New York's St. Regis Hotel. Of the intended edition of 45, only 8 examples were ultimately produced.

Also among the sale’s highlights are four exceptional Still Life etchings by Giorgio Morandi, including Grande natura morta con la caffettiera (Large

Still Life with Coffee Pot) from 1933. Widely regarded as the zenith of

Morandi's print-making oeuvre, the group demonstrates the artist's

Pablo Picasso

Portrait de jeune fille, d'après Cranach le

Jeune II (Portrait of a Young Girl, after

Cranach the Younger II), 1958

Estimate: $50,000–70,000

To be offered in Modernism unparalleled ability to transform familiar objects into deeply contemplative studies of form, light, and space.

Featured in Important Works from the Collection of Vivian Horan, the

respected New York dealer and founder of her eponymous gallery, Picasso’s Portrait de Jeune Fille, d'après Cranach le Jeune II (Portrait of a Young Girl, after Cranach the Younger II) is a rare trial proof printed on the reverse of a poster advertising a 1957 Vallauris ceramics exhibition. Likely among the earliest impressions pulled, the work offers a fascinating glimpse into Picasso's creative process and the development of what would become one of his most celebrated linocuts.

Post-War and Contemporary Works

Among the Post-War and Contemporary highlights from the Evening Sale is a remarkable group of 25 works by Andy Warhol, including iconic images, rare trial proofs, and early hand-colored lithographs. Leading the selection is Apple, from Ads; created in 1985, the work features the Macintosh logo at a moment when personal computing was rapidly reshaping contemporary culture. Also on offer is Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, from Reigning Queens from 1985, which showcases Warhol's exploration of celebrity, power, and mass media through portraits of some of the world's most recognizable women. Mick Jagger from 1975 will also be on offer, signed by both the artist and the legendary Rolling Stones frontman.

Additional Evening Sale highlights include Roy Lichtenstein's complete portfolio La Nouvelle Chute de l'Amérique (The New Fall of America), 1992; Yayoi Kusama's whimsical and surreal Night, 1989; and David Hockney's celebrated Lithographic Water Made of Lines, Crayon and a Blue Wash, 1978-80, depicting one of the artist's most enduring motifs, the swimming pool.

The auction also features important editioned works by Donald Judd, Jeff Koons, and KAWS. Judd's Untitled, 1991, published by Edition Schellmann, originally conceived on a restaurant receipt, exemplifies the artist's rigorous approach to form, with precisely engineered planes of aluminum creating dramatic effects of light, shadow, and depth. Offering a distinctly contemporary counterpoint are Koons’ Seated Ballerina (Wood) from 2015 and KAWS's THE MESSAGE (2025), ambitious sculptural editions whose craftsmanship and scale blur the boundaries between editioned works and unique objects.

Flesh and Bark, What Touches, 2026

22 x 30 in

Irina Alimanestianu’s paintings operate as visual excavations. Born in New York to Romanian parents, and raised between Western Europe and the East End, she treats landscape as stratifications where personal memory, classical history, myth and the subconscious form distinct but interwoven layers. Painting and collage work together to visually fracture time and space on the canvas.

In her recent paintings, fragments of temples, columns, and mythic narratives surface across the work. Gods, ruins, and metamorphoses appear as if remembered by the landscape itself. Pictorial space is sliced, grafted, and reassembled.

Ray’s Substack

SECRETS

Ray Grasse

1 hour ago

“Secrets affect you more than you’d think. You lie to keep them hidden. You steer talk away from them. You worry someone’ll discover yours and tell the world. You think you are in charge of the secret, but isn’t it the secret who’s actually using you?”
― David Mitchell, Black Swan Green

One never knows all the secrets harbored by one’s parents, and one of the great surprises of my own life occurred well into my thirties. I was at the family home one day, banging around on the piano, and overheard my mother talking to my father on the other side of the room, when she casually made passing reference to her “first husband.”

Stunned, I swiveled around on the piano bench and said, “What did you just say?”

Realizing she had just divulged something entirely new to me, she paused a second and remarked, trying to be as casual as possible, “Oh, I thought I told you about that...I know I told your brother about it back when he got divorced, but I thought I told you, too...”

She then proceeded to relate to me the story of how she was working in a munitions factory in Las Vegas during World War II, sometimes handling explosive materials, when she met and married an older gentleman from the area. He owned a taxicab company, and had once been a bootlegger for Hollywood figures like Jean Harlow. But he turned out to be overly controlling of her, so after a year of marriage she procured a divorce and moved back to the Midwest. She spoke wistfully on another occasion about the time one year later when he traveled all the way across the country to show up at her workplace in Illinois, essentially begging her take him back. She said it broke her heart to send him away, since she still loved him.

I’ll never forget the sensation of learning about that entire episode so late in my life. It was one of those odd times when I’ve honestly wondered whether I was dreaming or awake.

My father had secrets of his own, which I found out about in an especially roundabout way, although those didn’t impact me in quite the same way.

He was born in 1905 in Door County, Wisconsin, and raised on a farm, but at the age of twenty traveled to the big, brawling town of Chicago. This was the Roaring Twenties, and he eventually found work as a mechanic in a Cadillac garage. But in his off hours he apparently had quite a good time visiting the speakeasies, dating women, and earning a nickel for each woman he danced with at the Aragon Ballroom (a pastime offered women at some venues during the Depression). He was very good-looking, so he amassed quite a collection of nickels.

One day I received a message through Ancestry dot com from a woman who said she and I were apparently related—closely so. It turns out her mother was born in Chicago during the 1920s around the time my father was working there. But her mom never found out who her father was. All signs point to my father. It became clear to me that while having his rip-roaring time in Chicago, dad got this woman’s mother pregnant, and may well have never even known about it. The upshot being, this woman’s mother was a half-sister to me, and she was herself a half-niece to me. And my dad was her grandfather, of course.

That’s not all. My brother Greg moved to Phoenix for several years in the 1990s, and attended a church in the area every Sunday. He noticed that there was an older man in the congregation who looked so much like my father he could have passed for his twin. It was startling. Curious about the stranger, Greg eventually struck up a conversation with him to find out more about him and his past.

Lo and behold, the stranger was born in Chicago in the mid-1920s, right when my father was working there, and just like that woman’s mother from Ancestry dot com, he never found out who his blood father was. Greg decided not to tip his hand as to his real intentions for questioning him, since he didn’t know whether he might be opening up an emotional pandora’s box for the fellow. Do I personally doubt he was a half-brother to me? Not really. (The stranger would have been around 30 years older than me, incidentally—quite an age difference, but my father didn’t have me until he was almost 50.)

I’ve been thinking a lot about secrets lately. Of course, some secrets are actually good to keep. You don’t really need to be telling your friends and neighbors about the embarrassing mishap you had in the bathroom this morning, or about the trip you had to make to the local food kitchen recently because your cupboards were bare. But some secrets are not so good, like those involving great shame over some past misdeed, or a public humiliation you had in high school. Those can metastasize over time, if you keep pushing down on them hard enough.

Everyone has their secrets. I do, you do, the woman walking by on the street has hers, the Pope has his. There is an ocean of secrets inside each of us, and that is as much if not more about who we really are as all those features and behaviors we openly display to the world. Anton Chekhov put it like this

“He had two lives: one, open, seen and known by all who cared to know, full of relative truth and of relative falsehood, exactly like the lives of his friends and acquaintances; and another life running its course in secret.” (The Lady With the Little Dog and Other Stories(

But over the years I’ve come to wonder a great deal more about the secrets we keep from ourselves. The ones we’re conscious of can at least be addressed—but the others? They operate in the shadows. A classic example is racism. Many years ago, I knew a dyed-in-the-wool racist who hated every member of a certain skin color. On a conscious level, he’d convinced himself this was because of the perceived faults of that group (this, despite the fact he’d never actually had a negative run-in with anyone from that race himself). Having gotten to know him quite well over time, I realized that he actually hated himself, and was simply projecting that disgust onto an entire community of people.

We all do things similar to that, to one extent or another, camouflaging our real intentions and reasons without realizing it. Whether that unawareness on our parts is due to fear or some strange amalgam of defense mechanisms, I don’t know, but I’m sure there are many layers of such emotional maneuverings extending down deep into our past that involve actively hiding truths from ourselves.

Mind you, there is no absolute necessity for any of us to become aware of all these buried secrets. No federal law demands it. But for someone who’s interested in self-understanding and in peeling away the layers of that psychological onion, it can be transformative to engage the process.

So, what are some ways of going about that?

Dreams are a powerful tool, and can tell us truths about ourselves that rational methods can’t quite capture. It takes a certain symbolic talent to accurately interpret dreams, it’s true, but simply noting the repetitive situations or issues portrayed in dreams can alone reveal a great deal about what is occupying your subconscious. I remember a few years ago when I was feeling relatively upbeat about my life as a result of things going smoothly with my work; yet during that period I started having recurring dreams about war—something I normally never dream about. Obviously, there was some issue or conflict taking place within me, and those dreams prompted me to look more closely at certain anxieties I was having but had brushed aside as not being important. Yet they were important, and I realized I’d been turning a blind eye to a moral conflict involving a professional decision I had to make, which I was in denial about. The dreams corrected that.

Therapy is certainly a valuable method, of course—having someone outside of you who can look at your issues from a more objective standpoint. The key there is to zero in specifically on those areas involving matters of shame, humiliation, fear, obsessions, addictions, and embarrassment—each of these being cellar doors into that subterranean realm of secrets.

One especially simple method of unearthing secrets is to carefully see what—and who—pushes your buttons in daily life. To paraphrase Carl Jung, those things which irritate us in others offer a surefire window into your own unconscious “shadow” issues. Is it the egotistical co-worker whose constant bragging rubs you the wrong way? Or a specific political leader whose personality quirks drive you crazy? I mentioned earlier about racism, which is a particularly common example. Instances of extreme button-pushing like these almost always mirror qualities or traits one doesn’t want to face in oneself.

Some would even suggest that those buried secrets can be mirrored back to us in the symbols and synchronicities of waking life, especially those which involve recurring situations that frustrate and encode key lessons around one’s dysfunctions. Do you continue to run into similar problems centering around matters of deception? Did you experience synchronicities involving the recurring name of a celebrity who was recently mired in a scandal? As with our nightly dreams, such coincidences require a keen symbolic eye to properly interpret.

In the end, there is one thing I’m sure of. If we choose to engage in this archaeological excavation of the soul, we need to be gentle with ourselves, loving even. We’ve all made mistakes, we’re all human, we’ve all hidden things from both others and ourselves because they’re painful. But however horrible those secrets may seem to you, they’re not the entirety of who you are.

So, gaze into those secrets with clear eyes and zero judgment. The world is hard enough without us having to make it even harder.

Band of Vices presents the artist Tania Benegas~Where Fiber Becomes Landscape~See details below to view Banegas's work.

2026-10-06T09:05:48.678-04:00

THE ARTIST'S HAND

Tania Banegas
Where Fiber Becomes Landscape

For the second edition of The Artist’s Hand—a Band of Vices series bringing collectors closer to the vision, discipline, and singular process behind the work—we turn our attention to Tania Banegas.

Tania Banegas
EL SOL NO DEJA DE SALIR, 2026
Acrylic paint, cotton fibers on canvas
12 x 12 x 1.5 in (30.48 x 30.48 x 3.81 cm)

Tania Banegas - her process in 45 secs.

In De La Tierra, Still Waiting, Inez, and El Sol No Deja De Salir, Banegas transforms fiber into something that feels simultaneously botanical, geological, bodily, and abstract. Cotton, linen, cashmere, acrylic fibers, and paint are built into dense, tactile surfaces that seem to grow beyond the canvas rather than simply rest upon it. De La Tierra moves through earthen browns, blush, and cream like strata or terrain; Still Waiting compresses the language into an almost monochromatic black field; Inez becomes an exuberant study in saturated pink; and the pale blue of El Sol No Deja De Salir gives the same material vocabulary an unexpected sense of air, light, and quiet.

Tania Banegas
STILL WAITING, 2026
Acrylic paint, cotton and acrylic fibers on canvas, wood frame
13.75 x 13.75 in (34.92 x 34.92 cm)

What connects these four works is Banegas’s ability to make softness carry weight. Her surfaces are lush and inviting, but they are also meticulously constructed; repetition, density, color, and touch become the architecture of each composition. Viewed together, the works reveal how dramatically a single artistic language can shift in mood—from earth to darkness, from sensuality to serenity—without losing its identity. Banegas asks us not simply to look at the work, but to become aware of our desire to touch it, to trace its forms, and to experience material as something emotional. That tension between restraint and abundance is where the work becomes especially compelling.

Tania Banegas
INEZ, 2026
Acrylic paint, cotton and acrylic fibers on canvas, wood frame
21.5 x 17.5 in (54.61 x 44.45 cm)

Tania Banegas
DE LA TIERRA, 2025
Acrylic paint, cotton, linen and cashmere fibers on canvas
24 x 12 in (60.96 x 30.48 cm)

Serpentine South presents Justin Caguiat~Change Ringing~ October. 8, 2026- January 10, 2027. The installations is multimedia for e diverse experience. See belwo details.

2026-10-06T08:57:43.680-04:00

Justin Caguiat brings sound, printmaking and sculpture into the exhibition listed below. Scroll down for details.

JUSTIN CAGUIAT
CHANGE RINGING
SERPENTINE SOUTH
8 OCTOBER 2026 – 10 JANUARY 2027

Serpentine will present the first UK institutional exhibition of new and recent works by London-based artist Justin Caguiat, on view at Serpentine South from 8 October 2026 to 10 January 2027.

Change Ringing will bring together painting, sculpture, printmaking, sound and film. Justin Caguiat engages with the gallery beyond its interiority, using the architecture and infrastructure of the Serpentine South building to frame and display his artworks.

Through a use of heat-responsive pigment, works on view at Serpentine will constantly change in colour and reveal different shapes as they react to environmental factors such as temperature and light. Though they resist fixed narratives, the paintings are reminiscent of fresco painting.

Alongside canvases, sculptures and prints, Caguiat will also show a series of bronze bells cast in the shapes of various flowers and plant seeds varying in size. A score composed by Lily Pickett riffs on the logic of English change ringing, playing mechanically in a continuous loop as pistons fire in sequential code. Like the concrete acoustic mirrors built along Britain's coastline to detect warships, or Le Corbusier's conception of a building as an acoustic receiver, the gallery’s walls gather and amplify the bells’ chimes, transforming architecture into a listening instrument.

An evolution of Zodiac Machine (4 March – 1 April 2026; Madrid), the exhibition organised by Fundación Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Madrid, across the Santa Ana y la Esperanza Church, the nearby Moratalaz Market, and surrounding public spaces, the Serpentine show will continue Caguiat’s longstanding exploration of the architecture, spiritual resonance, and symbolic qualities of sacred spaces, alongside the structures and rhythms of everyday urban infrastructure. Devised as a project in two parts taking place in the two institutions, Caguiat’s new body of works was influenced by the Spanish architect Justo Gallego Martínez, specifically his Catedral de Justo, which he designed and built single-handedly using only recycled and found materials.

This looks interesting.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

1st Contemporary JOMON Art Exhibition in New York

Exhibition Dates: October 13 - 25, 2026

Location: Gallery Onetwentyeight

Address: 128 Rivington Street, New York, NY 10002

Opening Reception: Friday, October 16, 2026, 6pm-8pm

Gallery Hours: Tue-Sat: 1pm-6pm, Sun: 1pm-5pm

NEW YORK, NY — Gallery Onetwentyeight is proud to present the "1st Contemporary JOMON Art Exhibition in New York," running from October 13 through October 25, 2026.

This landmark exhibition brings together a dynamic collaboration of contemporary artists exploring the profound spirit of the Jomon period through paintings, sculptures, installations, and multimedia performances.

We currently live in an uncertain era, constantly questioning where tomorrow’s world is headed. It is precisely during such times that we feel compelled to reflect on the Jomon spirit—a unique culture that flourished across the Japanese archipelago for approximately 14,000 years. The iconic forms of Jomon pottery and Dogu (clay figurines), familiar to anyone with an awareness of Japanese history, are far more than mere historical relics.

They convey a timeless, universal wisdom that continues to resonate across generations. At its core, this philosophy embodies a deep reverence for the earth and a spirit of living in seamless harmony with nature. It was under this profound worldview that humanity sustained a remarkable 14,000-year period entirely free of war.

This exhibition aims to express the Jomon spirit through the lens of contemporary art, sharing its universal significance and future possibilities with a global audience. Visitors are invited to experience this extraordinary intersection where ancient wisdom meets modern creativity.

Featured Artists:

Akiko Matsuo, Keiko Kubota-Miura, Kenichi INOUE, Harue Tamaki, Kana Handel, Chie Shimamura, Jun’ichiro Ishida, Hisayasu Takashio, Masako Onoda, Nobuko Tsuruta, Mariko Suzuki, Nina Kuo, Sanae M Buck, Tony Sahara, Yoshimi Tanaka, Tulin Battikhi, Thomas Soloweyko,

NEPAL FLOOD RELIEF

Standing With Families and Friends Affected

by The Historic Natural Disaster in Nepal

NEPAL FLOOD R

Deadly floods and landslides have displaced families across Nepal, leaving many without safe shelter, warm clothing, and essential supplies. This emergency relief initiative is focused on helping affected families meet their most immediate needs.

AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE LED BY JAY TAMANG FORMER NEPALISE SHERPA & LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHER

A PERSONAL COMMITMENT TO NEPAL

Jay Tamang is a Marin County resident who was born and raised in Nepal. His connection to the communities affected by this disaster is deeply personal. As a child, Jay walked approximately two hours each way to attend school. That experience shaped his commitment to giving back and supporting communities in Nepal. Over the years, Jay has helped raise funds to build three schools in rural Nepal and has participated in relief efforts following the devastating Nepal earthquake.

Today, the crisis is personal once again.

Some of Jay's cousins and people from his village remain missing following the recent disaster. Jay is working to mobilize immediate assistance for families affected by the flooding and landslides.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE MISSION

Points of Stillness

Carrie Marill & Jan Maarten Voskuil

Exhibition Dates:
January 9 – February 27, 2027

Opening Reception with Carrie Marill & Jan Maarten Voskuil:
Saturday, January 9, 2027
1:00 - 3:00pm

In a contemporary iteration of minimalist principles, pure object and pattern offer individual contemplation in the paintings of Carrie Marill and Jan Maarten Voskuil. Voskuil’s sophisticated geometrical experiments have evolved over two decades of thoughtful and slyly humorous engagement with minimalist painting and its philosophical complexities. Marill’s meditations on pattern and volume grant both the artist and the viewer an aesthetic space that is free of preconceived ideas; an opportunity for attentiveness without judgment or limitation. Points of Stillness will showcase new works by the two artists; opening to the public on January 9, 2027.

Marill’s newest works–columns of gestural and limpid crystalline facets painted on linen canvases–delineate a place of stillness and quiet, even among the dynamic shapes and depths that they depict. Her paintings direct us to a thought process prior to assumption or action; a mineral epoch in which untethered perception is a source of profound information. Marill, who recently relocated from Arizona to Mexico, compares her artistic practice to the process of learning Spanish. “I move through Mexico and instead of understanding all conversations, I have become exquisitely attentive. Watching facial expressions, body language, cadence, repetition. I recognize patterns before vocabulary,” she remarks.

A collector of imagery and processes, Marill’s career as a painter is defined by an embodied learning of human perceptive patterns. She has studied and taken as subject matter a range of global and natural visual systems, from plant and coral growth to modernist and miniaturist traditions to quilt designs. In each example, the meditative properties of repetition and limitation become a focus. She says, “Much of my practice begins with what I think of as ‘active noticing’: the slow, deliberate observation of the visual systems that quietly organize the natural world.” In Marill’s new body of work, the chemical processes of molecules arranging into geometrical structures inform paintings that move and systematize in mysterious rhythms–forming an accretion of entrancing and refractive shapes.

Crystals embody a remarkable paradox: they are formed through immense pressure and immense patience, yet they emerge with extraordinary clarity and precision. Their faceted surfaces scatter light while revealing an invisible internal order. In these paintings, crystalline forms become a way to explore how complexity arises from simple rules, how pressure creates structure, and how light can make those hidden systems visible.
–Carrie Marill

Jan Maarten Voskuil’s career as a painter began in the realm of realism, but, like the first generation of minimalist artists, he felt that the dominant painting style of his contemporaries had become specialized to the point of superficiality and sought to pare down painting to its essential parts. “I was making realist oil-paintings and even self-portraits, but it didn’t fulfill me,” says the artist. “I decided to narrow my view and try to return my painting to a reduced and minimalistic aspect. So I ended up making modules, just pure white, simple modules.”

Linen canvases stretched across curved frames, Voskuil’s modules are a fascinating distillation of form–both a radical paring down of the traditional composition of the painting, and unique volumetric objects that challenge the expectation of a straight-edged canvas. In the minimalist tradition, Voskuil saw these modules as an inverse of Carl Andre’s “flat sculptures”, two dimensional shapes that Andre exhibited on the floor. “I said, actually, I'm going to do the same, but for painting,” remarks Voskuil, with a twinkle in his eye. “And I always have this discussion: people tell me, ‘Yeah, but they are not paintings, they are sculptures,’ and I always say, ‘No, they suck as sculptures, but as paintings, they are quite good.’” Working within the range of his mathematical abilities, he plans and constructs his geometrical frames in his own studio, and delights in the chiaroscuro-like interplay of light and shadow along the curved edges of his works.

Voskuil’s work has continued to engage in clever and unexpected ways with the Dutch concepts of De Stijl–in which the art exists for its own sake, unconnected to the artist’s personal narrative–while at the same time tracing a clear arc of personal creative experimentation. When asked about the deep, saturated colors of some more recent works, Voskuil admits, “Well, actually, I do like color. I am a colorist, I think, deep inside. But also, I don’t, because that makes it personal, and it depends on the day and on the person [which color they will respond to]. I don't believe in having a favorite color. I can sympathize with any color.”

There's a conceptual side to my work, but to me, conceptual art is not interesting without the execution. And actually, the execution always gives surprises. That's the most interesting thing about it. That's the real challenge for an artist in my opinion
–Jan Maarten Voskuil

Voskuil and Marrill’s works on linen are connected by a dedication to their craft that extends beyond the modernist milieu, and by an attention to the quiet geometries of light and form. Their works extend a path toward clarity and purpose in a time of fractal distractions, allowing the viewers expansive interior spaces for personal contemplation, as well as connection to a human history of attention and curiosity.

Corring Museum of Glass awards Kenn Willians, bead meaker, the prestigious Rakow Commission for 2026

2026-10-01T10:25:26.285-04:00

Ken Williams is a Northern Arapaho, and the Cattaraugus Tribal Nations artist. His work in contemporary bead making is extraordinary. Williams will lecture November 5th , 2026 6 pm EST. See all details and his list of awards below.

Corning Museum of Glass Announces Ken Williams Jr. as Recipient of the 2026 Rakow Commission

CMoG’s prestigious Rakow Commission marks its 40th year by supporting a new work in glass by Ken Williams Jr., the first beadwork artist selected for the commission

Ken Williams Jr. will publicly unveil the work at CMoG during a Connected by Glass lecture on November 5, 2026 at 6 pm EST

CORNING, NY, October 1, 2026 — The Corning Museum of Glass (CMoG) announced the selection of beadwork artist Ken Williams Jr. (b. 1983, Northern Arapaho and Cattaraugus Seneca) as the recipient of the 2026 Rakow Commission. Marking the Commission’s 40th year, the selection is the first Rakow Commission awarded for beadwork. The completed work will be unveiled on November 5, 2026, during a Connected by Glass lecture by the artist followed by a closer look at the work in the Contemporary Art + Design Galleries.

Williams Jr. began experimenting with beadwork at an early age on the Cattaraugus Seneca Indian Territory and later refined his technique alongside master bead workers from his mother’s Northern Arapaho family. Widely celebrated for his pictorial beadwork, he is using the Rakow Commission as an opportunity to move beyond functional and wearable forms, creating a standalone wall panel. Drawing inspiration from Pop Art and a vibrant color palette, the framed composition features the artist’s cat, Valentino, complete with a thought bubble depicting his favorite foods as part of his “Yum Series.” Williams Jr.’s work, titled, I Am the Hungry Cat, bridges ancestral artistic traditions with a playful, contemporary sensibility, expanding the possibilities of glass as a medium for narrative art.

“Beadwork is something I grew up with,” said Williams Jr. “It is both familiar and comforting, carrying generations of knowledge passed down through my heritage. To have this traditional art form recognized through the Rakow Commission is deeply meaningful. I’ve always used glass beads to tell stories, but experimenting with a new vehicle and format gave me the freedom to try something fresh and personal. Glass beads allow me to honor my ancestors while pushing my practice toward the future, and I’m thrilled to be able to bring that spirit to CMoG.”

“Ken’s work demonstrates how Indigenous artistic traditions engage dynamically with contemporary art,” said Tami Landis, curator of postwar and contemporary glass at CMoG. “By bringing his extraordinary beadwork to a new format and infusing it with his distinct personality and humor, Ken expands our understanding of what beadworking can be. This Rakow Commission celebrates an artist who respects the lineage of his craft while fearlessly innovating within it, and we are excited to bring his vibrant story to our galleries.”

“In a year when CMoG celebrates its 75th anniversary, The Studio marks 30 years, and the Rakow Commission reaches its 40th year, it is especially meaningful to add another first to the Museum’s history: the first Rakow Commission awarded for beadwork,” said Jessica Levin Martinez, president and executive director of the Corning Museum of Glass. “Ken Williams Jr.’s commission reflects the spirit of this milestone moment, honoring the deep traditions of indigenous beadwork while expanding how visitors understand glass as a medium for storytelling and artistic expression.”

The Rakow Commission has been awarded annually by CMoG since 1986 to an artist who is making important strides in contemporary glass. One of the most prestigious awards for artists working in glass, the Commission recognizes global creatives known for technical innovation and conceptual depth, providing a monetary award and resources to continue to push the field forward. Each year, artists are nominated by the curator of postwar and contemporary glass and selected by a committee. Once completed, the commissioned piece is displayed in the galleries. This program is made possible through the generosity of the late Dr. and Mrs. Leonard S. Rakow. Past award winners include Lino Tagliapietra, Jiří Harcuba, Toots Zynsky, Preston Singletary, among others.

A special Connected by Glass program will take place on November 5, 2026, at 6 pm EST, when the 2026 Rakow Commission work will be revealed in the Contemporary Art + Design Galleries. In-person attendees will be among the first to experience the installation immediately following the public talk, which will also be livestreamed. The in-person event is free and open to the public, and online attendees can register to receive the livestream link on the Corning Museum of Glass website. After the lecture, Museum Members are invited to a reception with the artist in the galleries.

About Ken Williams Jr.
Ken Williams Jr. is a contemporary bead worker who began his career at an early age, experimenting as a self-taught artist who learned by observing family and friends. He completed his BA in museum studies at the Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe (2007), and while there took beadwork classes from noted beadwork artist Teri Greeves. Since 2003, he has participated in the Southwest Association for Indian Arts (SWAIA) Annual Indian Market, Santa Fe, and since 2006 in the Heard Museum Annual Indian Market and Festival, Phoenix. Williams Jr.’s work has been widely exhibited and has garnered many awards. It is in many prominent collections, including the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian, Heard Museum, Museum of Indian Arts and Culture (MIAC), Montclair Art Museum, Utah Museum of Natural History, Utah Arts Council, National Museum Scotland, and the Hood Museum at Dartmouth College, as well as many private collections nationwide.

The Staller Center for the Arts Stony Brook University's fall schedule details below!!!!

2026-10-01T10:07:13.200-04:00

The Staller is a warm intimate setting in which to catch an act or see a performance. Dates and link to tickets below.

Autumn is officially here! It feels like we were just getting ready to open our Fall season, and somehow it’s already October – which means we’re entering one of our busiest months here at Staller Center. With everything going on, it’s easy to get a little 'lost in the sauce', so let’s break down some of what’s coming up.

First, a quick update about An Intimate Evening with David Foster & Katharine McPhee. As you know, their performance has been rescheduled to January 31, 2027, and I’m excited to announce that we’ve released additional seats for the new date (including a few in the FRONT ROW)! So if you didn't get tickets before or you couldn't make the old date, now's your chance. And yes, I know it’s technically a Spring 2027 show now, so we’ll let it count as a sneak peak for the new season...

Before I get too far ahead of myself, though, we have plenty happening this month. An Evening with David Sedaris is coming up this Sunday, and we’re getting down to the last tickets. This will be David’s third time performing at Staller; he first sold out our theater in 2013 and returned for another performance in 2017. We’re thrilled to have him back, this time introducing his newest book, The Land and its People. And for those of you who would like to meet your favorite writer in person, David will be signing books in the lobby after the show!

Another show I want to make sure is on your radar is Gravity & Other Myths Presents: Ten Thousand Hours. This is one of those shows that's sort of difficult to describe. Is it cirque? Dance? Stunts? Music? Well, yes. Gravity & Other Myths is known for creating performances as physically impressive as they are inventive, and Ten Thousand Hours is just that. If you’re looking for something completely different from anything else on our Fall calendar, this is it.

I also want to take a moment to talk about classical music at Staller. We created our Classics at Staller series in response to the growing interest in classical music in our community, and it represents the amazing collaboration between Staller Center and the Stony Brook University Department of Music. Between our ticketed performances and the Music Department’s several free concerts and events throughout the year, there is no shortage of tremendous classical music on campus. Highlights this month include Eugene Drucker (violin), Lawrence Dutton (viola), and Paul Watkins (cello) in our Emerson Legacy Concert on October 11, playing Bach, Beethoven, and Debussy, along with Jennifer Frautschi (violin) and Christina Dahl (piano) performing Respighi, Schoenberg, and Elgar in a duo concert on October 28.

Believe it or not, it’s not too early to start thinking about the holidays. We announced HOME (for the holidays) as our newest December holiday performance, featuring stage-and-screen power couple Jarrod Spector and Kelli Barrett, and I’m really looking forward to this one – it goes beyond just a holiday concert and offers a glimpse into the real-life chemistry and amazing talent of two Broadway stars, up close and personal.

But if December feels a little too far away right now, we have a celebration coming up much sooner – Disney Pixar’s Coco in Concert returns on October 30! This special screening is the perfect way to conclude Hispanic Heritage Month and celebrate Día de los Muertos with the whole family. Hear the Grammy-winning musical score performed live by a 20-piece orchestra. Costumes and face paint encouraged, of course.

I'll leave you with this: at the end of the month, we’ll be announcing our Spring 2027 Season! If you’re a Friend of Staller, you’ll get early access to season announcements and, most importantly, early access to tickets.

I hope you’ll make Staller Center part of your Fall plans. My team and I look forward to sharing these incredible performances with you this season and for many more to come.

Warm wishes,
Alan Inkles
Director, Staller Center for the Arts

The Cunt Down to Indigenous Peoples' Day October 12th is on marked by the National Museum of the American Indian. See below information.

2026-10-01T10:01:07.008-04:00

Multiple projects and platforms to join if you want to advance or participate in Indigenous Peoples Cultures presented below.

JOIN NOW

Friend,

Today is the first day of October, which means we’ve begun our countdown to Indigenous Peoples’ Day! In less than two weeks, the National Museum of the American Indian, along with states, cities, and communities across the country will come together to commemorate this special day.

But you don’t have to wait. We’ve set a special goal in honor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, Friend!

You can become a member today and help us raise $15,000 to support the museum’s work—amplifying Indigenous history, cultures, and perspectives every day.

Now through October 12, every gift will bring us closer to this important goal and help us educate, engage, and inspire even more people.

JOIN NOW

For more than 22 years, the museum has partnered with Native communities to center Native voices, showcase Indigenous art and artists, and challenge stereotypes to create a fuller… and deeper understanding of Native peoples and cultures.

Today, we offer programs for visitors of every age. From programs for early learners in the imagiNATIONS Activity Center, to events that bring people together in person and online, like our Quilt Along (June 1–October 17, 2026), to innovative, world-class exhibitions that inspire visitors from all backgrounds, everyone is welcome.

Your gift in honor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day is a meaningful way to support Indigenous voices, histories, cultures, and perspectives. It’s an investment in the museum’s work and its future.

Please, consider starting your celebration of Indigenous People’s Day early with a gift today.

By helping us raise $15,000 by midnight on October 12, you’ll foster a more informed and representative understanding of Native peoples.

This work is only possible because of your generosity.

Thank you!

National Museum of the American Indian

P.S. We have an ambitious goal: raise $15,000 before midnight on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, October 12! Will you join as a member today and help us reach it?

P.P.S. DAF Day is also coming up on October 8! If you’d like to explore giving through a donor-advised fund (DAF), you can learn more on our website!

Nor’easter at Towd Point

In the 09/30/2026 edition:

Towd Point Nor’easter
photo

There is something so homespun and “aw shucks” about the name Nor’easter. It is as if it is just an innocent visit from some relatives from some small town that you’ve barely heard of. It’s so familiar and friendly with that apostrophe that allows the drop of the “th”, almost cute. And it happens every Fall that I can recall. But it packs a wallop of water. Sometimes not too intense, but this time it just happened to coincide with the Harvest Moon, the full moon. The moon at its most powerful, pulling at the tides and making the sea spill over anything that attempted to contain it.

But look at what you can see.

Color was rung out of the skies, as if the sun just forgot to wake up. In the sky was a barely there breath of yellow that made the overall grayness heavier, like a curtain drawn across the entire horizon. Look just below where the sky meets the water, and bright silver-white marks move across the horizon in abbreviated dashes. And just under the bright whiteness is gray green, a color that reminds me of a dirty 20-dollar bill; you really don’t want to touch it. If you’re smart, you keep a safe distance.

The waters rush in, pushing past every boundary where sand used to be. A sandbar planted with griege -colored salt grass holds on in the mid-distance. Where I stand, blades of olive-green salt marsh, tipped with orange, poke up through the calmer water closer in. Here the grasses blow over, all bending to the left, to the west. These yellow-green grasses glisten and sparkle against the bleached-out, whipped-up scene. The grasses are sturdy, deeply planted in the sand with their deep brown roots exposed beneath them. They will hold on.

Putting up a photo is unusual for me here, but I didn’t have time to paint this. I’d like to soon, before I forget what it all felt like.

Hope all is well after the storm,

Casey

The Haines Gallery presents ~Just One Work/ Wendy Red Star~ as part of the 250 Year , Indigenous Futures show currently at the gallery.

2026-09-30T09:31:16.009-04:00

Wendy Red Star, Crow Tribal member, work a photographic collage with fabric features her piece depicting the 2025 Crow Fair, Montana,. Ms, Red Star is a distinguished artist with multiple museum show, fellowships, and art awards. See details below

Just One Work | Wendy Red Star

Take a closer look at a single artwork from our current exhibition 250 Years, Indigenous Futures. Today, we proudly present:

WENDY RED STAR

Chiaxxúapilake (Fifty), 2025

Fabric with archival pigment print photograph on board

25.25 x 49.25 x 1.25 inches, framed

INQUIRE

Wendy Red Star’s multidisciplinary practice is grounded in the histories, archives, and her lived experience of the Apsáalooke (Crow) Nation.

Drawn from her ongoing series A Float for the Future, Red Star’s 2025 photographic collage Chiaxxúapilake (Fifty) highlights a pair of ornately decorated parade cars of the annual Crow Fair. Held each August in Crow Agency, Montana, where the artist was raised, the six-day event is the largest gathering of Native Americans in the United States. There, in a daily morning parade, automobiles join horses as ceremonial vehicles adorned with beadwork, saddles, Pendleton blankets, traditional regalia including elk-tooth dresses, and other markers of Apsáalooke pageantry—symbols of an enduring Tribal culture adapted for contemporary life.

Detail from Wendy Red Star, Chiaxxúapilake (Fifty), 2025

Red Star likens these parade vehicles to “maps of identity,” offering insights into the families and lineages they represent. She collages her images onto backdrops of colorful satin fabric often worn under traditional regalia made of wool. “Incorporating both the outer regalia and the clothes underneath is a way of acknowledging the identity of the Apsáalooke people, not just in terms of how we celebrate publicly,” the artist shares. “It’s a window into what’s normally hidden or less visible; our public and private selves are set side-by-side.”

Turning objects into subjects and allowing them to speak, Red Star reveals forms that, as she has said, “represent a resilient and proud community…that overcomes obstacles to keep its culture alive.”

Wendy Red Star (b. 1981, Billings, MT; lives and works in Portland, OR), of the Piegan clan and from the district of Pryor, is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice is deeply rooted in the community, culture, and history of the Apsáalooke (Crow) people.

Her first career survey, Wendy Red Star: A Scratch on the Earth, opened at the Newark Museum of Art in 2019 and traveled to the San Antonio Museum of Art and Columbus Museum of Art through 2023.

Her first career survey, Wendy Red Star: A Scratch on the Earth, opened at the Newark Museum of Art in 2019 and traveled to the San Antonio Museum of Art and Columbus Museum of Art through 2023.

Paul Getty Museum, and Fondation Cartier pour l’Art Contemporain, as well as the 2023 Sharjah Biennial and 2026 NGV Triennial. A major solo exhibition will open at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC, in 2027.

Red Star was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2024, the same year she received the International Center of Photography’s Infinity Award. Other honors include an Anonymous Was A Woman Award (2022), Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship (2018), and Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Biennial Award (2017). Her monographs include Delegation (Aperture/Documentary Arts, 2022) and Wendy Red Star: Bíilukaa (Radius Books, 2023). Her work is held in more than 80 public collections, including the Guggenheim Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and Whitney Museum of American Art.

The National Museum of the Native American showcases ~A Prairie Band of Potawatomi Doll~ Mighty MIniatures~See details below.

2026-09-30T09:10:05.332-04:00

Thes figurines/ dolls are special to see! Visit the Smithsonian site of the museum itself to see the collection of dolls or use the database link below . .

FROM THE COLLECTION

A Prairie Band Potawatomi Doll

November in New York will bring a major new exhibition to the National Museum of the American Indian showcasing some of the collection's smallest works.
Mighty Miniatures will feature more than 300 works from the museum's collection of more than 1,300 miniatures from around the Western Hemisphere, including baskets woven from strands of horsehair, pottery that could balance on a fingertip, and intricately made small toys such as tipis or boats.

Prairie Band Potawatomi doll, 1880–1920
Kansas. Hide, horsehair, cotton cloth, silk ribbon, wool yarn, glass beads, German silver, wood, vermilion. 9.8 × 5.3 × 2.0 in. NMAI 24/1799.

Although many pieces in the exhibition were created as souvenirs or keepsakes to be sold to tourists and collectors, some were made and then used by the Indigenous communities that created them.
This is the case with dolls and playthings, such as this one made by the Prairie Band Potawatomi during the late 19th or early 20th century. Dolls and other miniatures were important teaching tools for Indigenous children as they learned about the world around them and the communities they lived in.
Through play, children began to learn the skills they would need as adults, such as pretending to hunt with small bows, learning to set up a toy tipi, or sewing small clothes for a doll. These practical lessons helped develop problem-solving, physical, and social skills over time.

Details that reflect a community

Dolls especially are used by children to decipher their world as they use them to mimic the adults that surround them. Dressed and adorned like their community, these dolls preserve the traditional techniques used at the time and typically use the same materials.

The body, moccasins, and pouch of this Prairie Band Potawatomi doll are made of deer hide or buckskin, and her hair is made of black yarn and horsehair. Embellished with beadwork and silk ribbons mirroring Potawatomi ribbonwork, her clothing is made from wool and cotton fabrics.

Back view of the Prairie Band Potawatomi doll, showing details of the clothing and ribbonwork.

The miniature replicas of German silver jewelry, ornaments, and beaded necklaces reflect her wealth, while the representation of a bear claw tied around her neck, the beaded medicine bag, the prescription stick, and the leather pouch containing vermilion illustrate that the woman is likely a healer.

When compared to a photograph of Prairie Band Potawatomi women from Mayetta, Kansas, wearing ribbonwork dresses during the time the doll would have been made, the similarities are clear.

Wakabushkuk and Wam-to-she-quart, Prairie Band Potawatomi women from Mayetta, Kansas, wearing ribbonwork dresses, 1860–1930. David C. Vernon Collection. NMAI P22021, NMAI Archives.

These tiny works from locales ranging from North, Central, and South America and Hawai‘i spark wonder and delight at their minuscule size while their histories and stories are so massive.

As we welcome Mighty Miniatures to New York, we hope you will join us to celebrate our smallest works in big ways.
