Congratulations to Daniel Lind-Ramos @daniel_lind_ramos on his inclusion in @labiennale and thank you to Rachel Wetzler and Art Forum @artforum for hightlighting Daniel’s contributions. This is Guardaverde sited in the Arsenale, a sculpture inspired by a mangrove in Daniel’s hometown of Loiza.
We are deeply saddened by the recent death of activist and painter Celeste Dupuy-Spencer. I had the privilege of getting to know Celeste leading up to her first New York solo exhibition in 2017. Celeste was a true generational talent whose paintings stood out in the intensity in which they engaged with their subject matter, all equally important to Celeste. It’s sad Celeste isn’t with us and sad we will not get to see as many of her paintings as we should have. RIP
Congratulations to Daniel Lind-Ramos @daniel_lind_ramos and the team at the Diriyah Biennale @contemporaryartbiennale_sa for their breathtaking 2026 edition, In Interludes and Transitions.
We are thrilled to announce Daniel Lind-Ramos will be participating in the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia by Koyo Kouoh @daniel_lind_ramos@labiennale
Thank You Susan Aberth @aberthsusan for reviewing State of Mind: Paintings 1959–1979 for Art Forum’s @artforum January issue!
Born in Vienna and later based in Southern California, Renate Druks was a vital figure of Los Angeles’s postwar avant-garde. Aberth states that “Druks’s remarkable output has been rediscovered… overwhelmingly proving that her work can hold its own among other brilliant but long-neglected women artists—more or less of her generation—such as Gertrude Abercrombie, Marjorie Cameron, and Juanita Guccione. She adds, Druks paintings are “a vital contribution to the still-unfolding histories of occult and proto-feminist art in North America.” 1.

We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of Daniel Lind-Ramos’ @daniel_lind_ramos Centinelas de la Luna Nueva by The Tate Americas Foundation @tateamericasfoundation for its inclusion in The Tate @tate permanent collection. This is the first work by Lind-Ramos to be placed in a museum collection outside of the United States. Special thanks to Tobias Ostrander @tobiasostrander and all the great people involved.
WE ARE LANDSCAPES, opening Tuesday November 18 at 61 Lispenard, brings together works that use the landscape as a stage to reimagine humanity’s relationship to the natural world, through memory, ritual, and intervention.
The included artists—Daniel Lind-Ramos (b. 1957, Loíza, Puerto Rico) Tomás Sánchez (b. 1948, Cienfuegos, Cuba), and Julius von Bismarck (b. 1983 Breisach, Germany)—transform landscape from passive subject to active collaborator.

State of Mind: Paintings 1959–1979 is the first solo exhibition of Renate Druks (1921–2007) in New York City.
Born in Vienna and later based in Southern California, Druks became both collaborator and muse to key figures of Los Angeles’s postwar occult and avant-garde cinema scene, including Kenneth Anger, Marjorie Cameron, and Anaïs Nin. In her paintings, Druks drew from a wide range of esoteric influences popular within her circle—British occultist Aleister Crowley’s gnostic religion Thelema, the Hindu philosophical system of Vedanta, and enduring surrealist fascinations with astrology, dreams, and psychoanalysis. Together, these works reveal a visionary female voice—a sensual and psychic cornerstone within the cinematic and literary worlds she helped shape.
The exhibition is on view at 61 Lispenard through Saturday, November 8.
