Maneul Neri and Ruby Neri in Hyperallergic’s “10 Contemporary Artists Reckoning With Fatherhood.” — immigrant dads, absent dads, flawed dads, fellow artist dads, adopted dads — art that explores all that a father figure can be.

Writes Hyeprallergic: “Ceramicist Ruby Neri curated a show of works by her late sculptor father Manuel Neri at Salon 94 and Andrew Kreps Gallery this spring. One of the defining figures of the Bay Area Figurative Movement, Manuel Neri rendered bodies out of plaster, marble, bronze, and clay while Abstract Expressionism was all the rage. “Romance, nostalgia, stories, and travel — my father had a rich world, and at times would allow us, his kids, glimpses of it: his stories of being among the Beat poets, traveling in Mexico, being left on desolate islands in the Adriatic Sea with little food, or flying over the Nazca lines in a biplane,” Ruby Neri wrote in a text accompanying the show. “All of these stories sounded fantastical and wondrous to us — a life I came to naturally expect for myself as well.”

It is no secret that Sawako Goda was interested in the eye— and by extension, the ocular potential of the camera. Light itself is a major part of her subject matter— refraction in water and across crystals; the dazzling brilliance of gemstones and Hollywood stars. The connection goes past the camera: light was essential in early film, and the bright LA sun helped to pull the film industry west. Sawako noticed.

Her primary subjects were the great stars of Hollywood’s golden age — Marlene Dietrich, Veronica Lake, Gloria Swanson, Greta Garbo— tightly cropped or set against vague, dreamlike grounds. Each highlighted by a jewel shining down on them, the portraits have a gossamer delicacy and an unsettling atmospheric stillness that feels closer to séance than cinema. But Sawako, too, had eyes for French cinema. Pictured above, Anouk Aimée, the star of 1966 “Un Homme et Une Femme”.

Fun fact: we recently discovered that Anouk Aimée’s granddaughter once worked in this very space, back when it was a jewelry store.

Sawako Gōda is a singular figure of the postwar Japanese avant-garde with a life and practice unlike any other. Her first Paris solo exhibition, “Rosetta Galaxy,” opens June 10 at Salon 94 Paris— a moment of homecoming, in a sense, for an artist who drew so much inspiration from the city’s cinematic history.

Born in 1940 in Kōchi City, Gōda’s childhood was shaped by the devastation of war and early years scavenging ruins for fragments of melted glass, scorched metal, and debris, which she twisted into strange, doll-like assemblages. That impulse — to find treasure in destruction — never left her.

Her practice moved across assemblage, oil painting, drawing, and photography, leading her to Tokyo’s underground theater scene, to a Nubian village on the Nile, to New York… Along the way she painted Hollywood sirens in gossamer light, became captivated by ancient Egyptian iconography and the Eye of Horus, claimed to have seen spacecrafts, and made drawings with watercolor pencils wedged between her toes.

“Rosetta Galaxy” brings together late oil paintings and a suite of chromogenic prints from the early 1990s. Eyes, eggs, crystals, and stars recur throughout her work — motifs of vision, concealment, and infinite possibility.

Celia Vásquez Yui’s expansive installation at the Central Pavilion of the Giardini della Biennale— mythology, ancestral knowledge, and ecological memory, woven together through hand-formed clay figures. Rooted in Shipibo-Conibo tradition, her practice is animated by Kene, intricate geometric patterns that encode the spiritual and metaphysical world of the Peruvian Amazon. This installation anchors the space, producing a living landscape: a gathering of human, animal, and ancestral presences. Intimate and all at once cosmic.

The 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia— “In Minor Keys” by Koyo Kouoh— will run from May 9 through November 22, 2026, at the Giardini, the Arsenale and in various locations around Venice.

Artists often make the best collectors— take Fernando Botero. John Kacere’s iconic 1973 “Marianne R,” hung above his bed (slide 2) in his Paris apartment! Our TEFAF NY 2026 booth is a nod to living under his spell…

Kacere’s photorealistic female torsos mix the sensual and technical. Their exactness dovetails with Tom Sachs’ work (and renowned design philosophy). Sachs’ lively objects evoke a workshop where the devil is in the details. A lab full of moving parts, precision engineered and lit with a warm glow.

Shoko Suzuki, too, wields material mastery. Her meticulous vessels— made with an eye towards both Japanese and Brazilian practices— offer understated contrast. With her hand-built noborigama kiln and foraged earth, she pulls us into the rich formal and artistic language of clay. 

All together, a fully realized interior space- conceptualized as lush tableau to move in: Tom Sachs, John Kacere, Shoko Suzuki, presented by Salon 94 at TEFAF NY, 2026. Come find us in Booth #306.

📍TEFAF NY, Park Avenue Armory — 643 Park Ave, NYC

📆 May 15 - 19, 2026

Takuro Kuwata is on view in Venice, in “Ethnography of the Body and Material — Slowness and Depth in an Accelerated Society,” May 9 through November 22 at Palazzo Pisani Santa Marina. The exhibition is about resistance to speed — what happens when makers insist on depth, on touch, on time. Kuwata makes that time visible: his new works sit on a bed of rejected pieces, tests, and broken forms from years of practice.

Also on view: a planter made from the recycled plastic containers of his studio materials.

A first look: Kennedy Yanko at La Biennale di Venezia. Her sculptures, made from salvaged industrial materials (paint skins, metal, fabric, and resin) transform the economy’s junkyard cast-offs into objects of startling beauty. Bent, torqued, and warped paint and metal, suspended until it behaves more like fabric than steel. At times small; an others, overwhelming! On view soon at the Arsenale.

The 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia – In Minor Keys by Koyo Kouoh – will run from May 9 through November 22, 2026, at the Giardini, the Arsenale and in various locations around Venice.

Kennedy’s Venice presentation is co-presented by Salon 94 and James Cohan Gallery.

Met Gala co-chair Venus Williams wore a Swarovski crystal mesh gown inspired by Robert Pruitt’s portrait of her, “Venus Williams, Double Portrait” (2022), commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery. Her necklace is a recreation of the Wimbledon-plate-inspired piece depicted in the portrait - incorporating symbols of her family, career, and legacy, with nods to the historic fight for equal pay in tennis and to the sport’s early Black champions.
