Ruiz-Healy Art is delighted to share that the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City has acquired ‘Humanscape 68: Kitchen Spanish,’ a monumental 1974 painting by Mel Casas. This work, part of Casas’s Humanscape series, explores the relational dynamics of Mexican American labor and culture in the U.S. We are honored to have facilitated this significant acquisition and thank Dr. Beverly Adams, the Estrellita Brodsky Curator of Latin American Art at MoMA, for her leadership. Congratulations to the Mel Casas Family Trust on this notable achievement, and thank you for entrusting our gallery with placing this historic painting.

We are pleased to announce our exclusive representation of fifty percent of the Mel Casas estate. In partnership with three of his children, who collectively represent 50% of the former Mel Casas Family Trust, we are committed to continuing to place his art in notable institutional and private collections and in upcoming exhibitions. We look forward to presenting his exceptional work through solo exhibitions scheduled for the Spring of 2027 at both our San Antonio and New York gallery locations.

Ruiz-Healy Art is honored to lend the exhibition Graciela Iturbide: Las Californias, on view at our New York City Gallery in winter 2025, to the Bakersfield Museum of Art in Bakersfield, California. The exhibition will be on view through February 7, 2027. Las Californias brings together photographs spanning East Los Angeles, California, to Tijuana, Baja California. A significant portion of the exhibition comes from Iturbide’s White Fence series, which began in Boyle Heights in 1986 when she photographed a group of predominantly deaf Mexican American women connected to the White Fence gang. The exhibition includes numerous works from this series, alongside photographs from Tijuana and Baja California, where Iturbide turned her attention to the border and the experiences of those living within its physical and cultural landscape.

Sponsored by City of Bakersfield, Robert Raskind Charitable Foundation, California Resources Corporation, Trichell Family Foundation, and Kathy & Steve Hair

Thank you to the Art Bridges Foundation for highlighting the work of gallery artist Consuelo Jimenez Underwood during National Hispanic Heritage Month. The gallery is thrilled to have placed this work with the Art Bridges Foundation.

Taken from California 1990s road signs found near the border, the image of a family fleeing has appeared several times in Jimenez Underwood’s work. It mimics the format of a deer-crossing sign, a parallel which made the artist reflect: “they’re thinking of us as animals now.” During her childhood, her father was deported to Mexico on multiple occasions, forcing her and her family to smuggle him back over the border each time. This piece was made to honor all the anonymous souls who have not survived the crossing. But its title, which alludes to the Dick and Jane children’s series, calls attention to the little girl in particular, whom the artist has also identified with in the past. The C, in fact, stands for Consuelo’s name.

“When I found out that when a person is hit by a car at full speed, nothing recognizable is left, except small fragments of clothing, I felt the need to construct a memorial quilt of sorts, a large-scale textile created to honor the anonymous dead who died when crossing the freeway. Again, the need for the humble safety pin to step up to the plate! The beadwork reminds us that everyone needs even a little joy at the edge.” Consuelo Jiménez Underwood.

We are thrilled to be part of Art Week NYC a citywide celebration of contemporary art presented by ARTnews, Art in America, and Artforum from November 11-14.

“Our vision for Art Week NYC began with the galleries,” Danielle McConnell, publisher of Artforum, said in a statement. “The galleries are where artists are discovered, careers are built, and the conversation around contemporary art moves forward. By bringing them together under one citywide platform, we’re creating an experience that reflects the strength and diversity of New York’s gallery community. We’re excited to invite audiences to see art where it is best seen, at the galleries and museums across the city.”

All that Before Us, with works by Jennifer Ling Datchuk and Consuelo Jimenez Underwood will be on view during Art Week. All that Before Us explores intergenerational empowerment, lineage, and a shared reverence for materials. The unique connection between Datchuk and Jimenez Underwood underpins the exhibition. Using time-honored craft techniques and materials, Datchuk and Jimenez Underwood create work that uniquely balances fine art and technical skill. Their practice explores compelling themes such as migration, gender equality, and multicultural identity.

Jimenez Underwood’s “Galactic Detention Center” series offers unique interpretations of constellation maps woven from steel and aluminum barbed wire and metallic thread. These pieces capture a celestial glow and evoke stars and cosmic matter. The series addresses young people in juvenile detention and those now held in immigration detention centers. Imagining these centers in a cosmic context highlights their arbitrary nature, indeed their ridiculousness, for what is a human system of documentation compared to the universal scale of life? Jimenez Underwood constructed these studies as an exploration in metal, choosing materials that are hard, cold, and often sharp. In this way, the metal’s connotations mirror the nature of outer space and the lack of humanity in the immigration detention centers they reference.

Jennifer Ling Datchuck & Consuelo Jimenez Underwood: All That Before Us is currently on view at our New York Gallery until Friday, November 27th, 2026. For Inquiries regarding our gallery programming or to schedule a private appointment outside of our gallery hours, please email [email protected] or call 646.833.7709 or 210.804.221.

The series On Demand references the artist’s, Jennifer Ling Datchuk, personal postpartum experience with breastfeeding, while also commenting on breastfeeding in contemporary society. Datchuk explains, “Breastfeeding is unpaid gendered labor in which women suffer economic, mental, physical, emotional, and political exhaustion. As a woman navigating the reproductive complex for over a decade–from endometriosis and infertility to pregnancy and postpartum–and as an artist questioning both the policing of women’s bodies in our society and the value placed on our labor in the global economy, I see women as the source of everything, yet witness how systems fail to support us.”

We are delighted to share gallery artist Consuelo Jimenez Underwood’s two-person exhibition “Leading the Camino: Latinx Art by Juan de Dios Mora and Consuelo Jimenez Underwood” at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon.

The exhibition features prints by Mora and textiles by Jimenez Underwood that question borders and embrace living in the “borderlands.” Mora adopts figuration and humor to resist homogenization and contest political rhetoric that criminalizes immigrants. Jimenez Underwood embraces textiles to similarly cross borders and honor her hybrid identity as Chicana, Mexicana, Americana, Indigenous, woman, and artist. Her artworks bridge art and craft to examine geopolitical barriers and weave together bodies and traditions from past and present.

“Leading the Camino” is curated by Dr. Adriana Miramontes Olivas, Curator of Academic Programs and Latin American and Caribbean Art.

On view at Ruby City until August 29, 2027, ‘Generative Disruption: Feminist Art from the Collection’.

‘Generative Disruption: Feminist Art from the Collection’ is an exhibition that brings together art made from the 1990s to today, largely from the Linda Pace Collection, to show how the ideas of 1960s and ’70s feminist artists still shape art now. Rather than experiencing a historical survey of feminist art, the exhibition instead invites viewers to explore a focused look at how those early ideas continue to inspire artists working today.

Artwork: Katie Pell, ‘All the Animals of the Forest Adore You (from Adoration Drawing Series)’, 2008, mixed media (Vine charcoal and pastel on paper with a mirrored frame ), Object dimensions: 50 x 36 in., 127 x 91.44 cm.

Gift of George and Heather Schroeder
