The Frieze Viewing Room: New York Edition is now live and open to the public. Luhring Augustine is pleased to participate with a presentation of works by four artists, Christina Forrer, Tom Friedman, Sanya Kantarovsky, and Emo Verkerk, who through a variety of mediums share a focus on figuration.   

As this unprecedented moment finds us newly estranged from the company of others, this emphasis on the figure reaffirms the significance of presence in a time defined by distance. While we increasingly occupy online worlds, artworks centering the human body ground us in the reality of our physical, corporeal condition while celebrating our shared humanity. This collection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, prints, and tapestries is populated by the figures, both real and imagined, who inhabit Forrer, Friedman, Kantarovsky, and Verkerk's worlds.
