The most amazing exhibition. Ever.
The prints are here! Tuesday night Art F City launched our one-night-only exhibition and reception for Rachel Stern’s “Nude Artists as Pandas” at Sargent’s Daughters. One of New York’s fastest-rising stars, Stern has shown at Daniel Cooney Fine Art, Invisible-Exports, and Humble Arts Foundation. This summer, she spent two months in Maine, at one of the world’s most prestigious residencies, Skowhegan.
The launch attracted art-worlders in Stern’s series, such as Martha Wilson, Nayland Blake, Jason Andrews, and Allegra LaViola; other luminaries in attendance included luminaries like William Powhida, Ben Davis, and Kat Griefen. All were recorded for posterity by photographer Christian Grattan.
The series above is available as a suite of 12 limited-edition photographs or as individual prints. For purchase options visit our donation page. For more information reach out to paddy@artfcity.com.
