Nearly 100 works owned by the California collector are on view in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood
Filling an entire wall of the four-story brick warehouse that once housed the Dia Center for the Arts in New York is a 21-foot wide, 10-foot tall oil painting of two Haitian princesses of the 1800s on what appears to be a deteriorating colonial-era palace wall.
From Friday through Jan. 27, visitors will get a window into Shah’s vision in “Making Their Mark,” an exhibition of the Shah Garg Collection curated by Cecilia Alemani, chief curator of High Line Art and curator of Milk of Dreams, the 59th international art exhibition at the Venice Biennale. Learning about Sobel and speaking with Siegel, who is research director of special program initiatives at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, “made me realize that the constraints of how fine art is defined is also set by men based on what they do,” Shah says.
Shah points to the auction market, where Sunflowers, a 1990-91 painting by abstract expressionist Joan Mitchell, could achieve US$30 million at a Nov. 15 auction at Sotheby’s, and where an untitled work by Mitchell from much earlier in her career—circa 1959—could achieve US$35 million on Thursday at Christie’s. One or both works, each being sold at major New York sales, is likely to break Mitchell’s US$16.6 million auction record set in 2018.
“Abstraction does not care about boundaries, and about geographies, and about gender, and I love that,” she says. “It’s a universal language of ideas. It lets you bring in your thoughts, your perspectives, your context, into the painting.”
