Candace Worth on Her Favorite Artworks from Week 1 of FAIR
Capitalizing on her extensive knowledge and relationships in the gallery, auction house and artist communities, founder Candace Worth established Worth Art Advisory in 2001 to bridge the gap between new art collectors and the art world establishment. In the last nineteen years, Worth Art Advisory has developed into a leading, internationally-recognized contemporary art advisory service representing a diverse group of art collectors.
“This special Canadian artist makes completely abstract, ethereal, atmospheric paintings. Her subjects seem to be air and light themselves.”
“I like how Muller moves easily between painting, print-making and ceramics. This colorful monotype feels like a photographic still-life.”
“Dan Miller comes from the Creative Growth Art center in Oakland, CA, a special place that supports artists with disabilities. His intense, repetitive abstractions of letters and words have great energy and color.”
“This Detroit-based painting makes great, three-dimensional paintings, built up with unusual materials like glitter and epoxy. They have a beautiful, rough surface and a ton of presence in person.”
“I love this built-up ceramic work by Robin Cameron, an ancient form in a contemporary format….it can sit within a bookshelf or on its own pedestal (with a little museum glue underneath!)”
“One of the most important voices of the last ten years (who could forget the major, multi-screen work ‘The Visitors’), Ragnar is also a wonderful draftsman and painter. These ‘Goddess’ sculptures combine his interest in figurative sculpture with painting and drawing.”
“This small, detailed seascape painting packs a lot of visual power onto a small canvas. Degen is renowned for his tight mark-making and beautiful palettes.”
“This LA-based, conceptual artist often works in sculpture and photography, looking at relationships between images, objects, and language. The candle image in this collage, a recurring motif in Queenland’s work, lies between two geometric diamond-shaped drawings.”
“Takal is a wonderful, newer painter for me, and I am drawn to how she gives you a representational painting, but only gives you partial information to understand the narrative. Is this a rack of women’s clothes installed outdoors? For what purpose? The bottom half of the foreground is a landscape but what is the geometric background? Great price point for a large work by a strong, up-and-coming painter.”
