Salon Art + Design 2023

NOVEMBER 10th - 13th, 2023

Shoshana Wayne Gallery is proud to announce our participation in the Salon Art + Design Fair at the Park Avenue Armory in New York, opening to the public November 10, with a presentation of works by Orly Maiberg and Anina Major.

Orly Maiberg is a Tel Aviv-based abstract painter, whose process begins on the studio floor and combines elements of collage to create visually rich works. At first glance, Maiberg’s works seem like abstract spaces, raw matter touched by delicate gestures of paint; but a closer look reveals complex landscapes populated by fragile figures which define the painted space. Maiberg’s work is currently on view at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. The gallery’s booth will also feature a new book of Maiberg’s work, published for the occasion of her show at the Israel Museum.

Anina Major is a Bahamian artist living and working in New York City. Major transforms the artistry of basket- weaving and straw-work from her Bahamian ancestors into clay vessels. Basket-weaving and straw-work are traditions performed primarily by women for economic needs, but one which Major treats with care and reverence through the art of plaiting strands of clay in and out of each other. Major is the recipient of a 2023 Joan Mitchell Foundation Fellowship and currently has work on view at the MFA Boston and the RISD Museum, and is in the collection of LACMA, the MFA Boston, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture, and others.

The fair runs from November 10 to 13, with VIP previews taking place on November 9. Shoshana Wayne Gallery will be located at booth B11.
