Rashid Johnson

Michael Rosenfeld Gallery sold a Joan Mitchell painting for over $2 million, the fair's top reported price on its VIP day last week.

Other notable sales included Edwin Hook Gallery's Laszlo Moholy-Nagy photograph for $320,000 and Gallery Maximilian's untitled Rashid Johnson work from 2025 for $175.

But most activity was at the lower end.

Of roughly 266 works reported sold on day one, 54% went for between $10,000 and $100,000, and 36% sold for less than $10,000.

And you walk into this big room, this museum, you work somewhere, and people look at all these artists who picked these interesting cars, you know, from Shepard Fairey's 1937 Packard to Barbara Kruger's School Bus.

to Rashid Johnson's BMW, to Keith Haring's Defender.

So it's more about collecting, it's like a time capsule.

So I'm making a times capsule.

Okay, great.

Eddie made one, Sam made one, Wes Lamb made one, Rashid Johnson.

Schnabel? I've seen him do them before, but maybe that's...

Schnabel as well.

Uh, and that was the house on birth Menorca.

There was opening a show, uh, entitled directionless, uh, organized by Rashid Johnson with some other collaborators.

Um, really cool group show.

Um, the highlight of which for me was like Rashid had been working on this new series of paintings in Menorca that are these beautiful, totally different than anything he's ever made.
