Art for Seeing the World Through a New Lens
Fresh artwork selections for a new year of new perspectives
Good morning! Today’s newsletter was a particular challenge to edit down my selections. If you’ve been a subscriber for a while, you know that it’s my one gripe with Substack when I have more artists to share!
On the other hand, discernment and judgment are crucial to art collecting, and this newsletter reflects my curated selections that I discover at contemporary art galleries.
As I enter my fifth year writing this newsletter, I’m expanding into digital media so I can share more artworks. Alongside my exhibition videos for People’s, I’m developing an educational series to share exactly what I look for as an advisor when evaluating exhibitions, art fair booths, and artist studios. Art is inseparable from the stories that shape the artist’s practice, and platforms like YouTube and TikTok are integral to sharing these discernments and discoveries in the visual arts.
That commitment to storytelling is also clear at People’s from my first conversation with its owners. They conceived the space as a platform where guests create and share stories while engaging with contemporary art outside the white-box gallery model. I am writing this newsletter ahead of a press-only panel I’m moderating at People’s next week, bringing together the editor-in-chief of Cultured, exhibiting artist Aglaé Bassens, and several leaders working across the art world.
Thank you to all my subscribers and please continue to follow along for contemporary art updates! I publish one free issue each month, with the rest reserved for paid subscribers who support this work. Some of the works in today’s newsletter will be featured in my upcoming video series!
