Currently on view at TEFAF New York 2026, @DemischDanant presents an exceptional tapestry by pioneering artist Sheila Hicks. Renowned as one of the leading figures in fiber art, Hicks has spent decades redefining the possibilities of textile-based practice through her exploration of color, texture, and form. Trained at Yale under Josef Albers, the artist developed a distinctly painterly approach to fiber, creating works that move fluidly between art, design, and architecture. This monumental tapestry from 1981 is remarkable for its scale, richness of color, and sculptural presence. Twisted lines of fiber create a composition that feels at once soft and geometric, reflecting the enduring innovation of Hicks’s practice. Discover this work and more at TEFAF New York, until Tuesday May 19.

During the first public day of TEFAF New York, visitors explored the exceptional presentations on view across modern and contemporary art, jewelry, antiquities, and design. Among the highlights at the fair is Yayoi Kusama’s "Dots Obsession", presented by @VanDeWegheFineArt . Since the late 1950s, Kusama has transformed psychological intensity into immersive visual languages defined by repetition and accumulation. Her iconic polka dots and infinite patterns dissolve the boundaries between self and cosmos, turning personal obsession into a universal experience. Presented at TEFAF New York, "Dots Obsession" reflects the enduring significance of Kusama’s visionary practice and her continued influence on contemporary art.

Gagosian showcases the latest additions to Kathleen Ryan’s "Bad Fruit" series, in which enlarged, decaying fruit forms are transformed through intricate surfaces of gems and semiprecious stones. In "Bad Cherries", salvaged materials, pearls, opals, and crystals are meticulously fixed by hand to create a work of remarkable color, texture, and surface tension, resulting in a work that is at once humorous, seductive, and poignant in its meditation on beauty and decay.

Final preparations are under way as TEFAF New York prepares to open its doors to the public on May 15. Among the works that will be presented at the fair is a dramatic, large-scale oil painting by Pierre Soulages, showcased by @WaddingtonCustot . Soulages first developed unified linear compositions in the late 1940s, and by 1958 he was creating complex, translucent color effects by scraping away layers of impasto, modulating the lustre and texture of his paint to produce a striking range of surfaces and tonal variations. This painting is a strong example of that approach. Broad, interlocking bars of gleaming black are dragged vertically and horizontally across a shimmering field of dark grey, itself pulled like a curtain over a pale gold ground. The weighty lattice of glossy black beams creates an imposing yet delicately balanced form, reminiscent of a character from Japanese script. Swathes of dark, lacquer-like pigment are offset by passages drawn into lyrical translucency. Explore this work and more at TEFAF New York, opening this Friday.

To be presented by @GalerieMariaWettergren at TEFAF New York this week, Camilla Moberg’s "Green Treasure II" is handcrafted in blown glass in Nuutajärvi, Finland’s oldest glassmaking village. The luminescent sculpture draws inspiration from the iridescent colors and patterns of insects and birds, celebrating their beauty while reflecting on the fragility of biodiversity. Placing stones in formation is an ancient means of communication, used to greet, warn, advise, guide, and deliver important messages. Its luminous, stacked forms evoke a totem-like balance, symbolizing the delicate equilibrium between nature’s resilience and its urgent need for preservation. The work reminds us not to forget the small, often unseen forms of life that are nonetheless essential to our world. Explore this work and more at TEFAF New York via the link in bio.

Among the remarkable works coming to TEFAF New York next week is "The Hour Glass" by Shahzia Sikander, presented by @SeanKellyGallery . Shahzia Sikander is one of the foremost artists of her generation who has been recognized for her ability to animate South Asian visual histories through a contemporary perspective. In The Hour Glass, the artist returns to a motif she conceived in the early 90s while a student at the Rhode Island School of Design. These floating figures appear with root-like forms instead of arms and legs and embody what Sikander calls “Migrant Love.” Rendered in mosaic, these figures hold multiple meanings, often affirming how women, deeply rooted in their identities and cultural heritage, cannot be easily uprooted or silenced. The lotus, another recurring motif in Sikander’s work, is also evident as a form that can signify humility, spiritual awakening, and love across many cultures.
