RICHARD NAM FOR NADA NEW YORK!!
Richard presents a series of tees printed with his signature woodblock imagery over the fair’s logo. Known for applying his prints to vintage and repurposed clothing, he extends that approach here, printing his work directly onto NADA tees. The works feature dinosaurs, cows, kittens, and references to Japanimation, bringing his visual language into an immediate, wearable context.
Corinne Jones “Fugitive Signals” for NADA New York ✨ About this new series she writes: “Fugitive Signals appear as static banners, emblematic of movement with color notes of humid air and balmy skies – something wild, untamed, and defiant. The chevron motif erases, redacts, obfuscates, and mixes signals. This connotes the ways women rewrite the rules, irreverently flying, fluttering, and waving to override the patriarchal system to which we are yoked.”

Many thanks to Victoria Pokovba and @whitewall.art for including SITUATIONS in “8 Must-See Booths at NADA New York 2026”. The presentation brings together three artists: Corinne Jones with her wave-shaped paintings of undulating forms, Jerry the Marble Faun with hand-carved limestone sculptures populated by playful figures, and Renelle White Buffalo. They write about her work: “What we love: The tension between the raw, exposed canvas and the tactile embroidery gives the work a deeply physical presence, grounding abstraction in materiality and gesture.”
NADA is open for 3 more days! Back at the Starrett-Lehigh Building for New York City Art Week. ❤️
Jerry The Marble Faun is an artist known for his appearance in the Maysles brothers’ 1975 documentary Grey Gardens, where he worked as the Bouvier–Beales’ handyman. While living at Grey Gardens, Edith “Little Edie” Bouvier Beale gave him the nickname “the Marble Faun,” which he later adopted as both an identity and an artistic framework.
Alongside his artistic practice, Jerry’s life has been shaped by a series of parallel vocations: he worked as a
gardener for the royal family of Saudi Arabia, performed with Wayland Flowers and his puppet Madame during
their cabaret tours in the 1970s, and spent over twenty years as a New York City taxi driver. Drawing equally
from performance, labor, observation, and lived experience, Jerry’s work treats biography itself as material.
Final week to see Renelle White Buffalo’s exhibition “From What I Gathered.” Thank you Renelle and thank you @jonathangrassi for these wild portraits!
We’ll have new works at NADA New York all week 6 blocks from the gallery at the The Starrett–Lehigh Building.
Renelle White Buffalo’s Hill Series for NADA New York, opening tomorrow 💋
Working with brushy, painterly strokes on archival translucent paper, White Buffalo builds her compositions through cutting, piecing, and collage. These fragments are assembled onto the canvas in abstracted, hill-like forms or arranged like collections of gathered rocks and shells, echoing the contours of remembered landscapes.

✨JERRY THE MARBLE FAUN✨
For NADA New York — opening this Wednesday ✨
Tongue-Tied (2026) by Jerry the Marble Faun draws loosely from The Kiss, translating Brancusi’s intimacy into Indiana limestone. The intertwined forms appear bound together by equal parts affection and silence. Its softened geometry and compact form evoke the tension between communication and concealment implied by the title.

Renelle White Buffalo’s “Sky Shawl” is based on an early memory at a powwow. White Buffalo recalls wearing her grandmother’s shawl, a moment that stayed with her. Inspired by the Fancy Shawl dance, she says, “Though I did not have my own regalia, I proudly wore her shawl.”
