Collections

Inspired by An American Icon: the Collection of Joan Didion (pt. 1)

Joan Didion loved Tulum, & her Celine sunglasses, & good times with good people.

Months ago I visited the land she loved. I discovered independent brands like Umbral. I ate, & danced, & felt, & wrote.

Months later, eager estate-sale goers purchased an array of Didion's personal items at STAIR Galleries. Auctioned to benefit the funding of girls’ scholarships. Some perhaps sourced in the city housed in the state the writer would name her daughter after & make (one of) her homes in.

The items below are inspired by STAIR’s listings of items such as
carved mahogany ladderback armchairs, an unattributed painting titled Persian School: Woman With a Fan, decanters, a simple Baccarat ice bucket, assorted colored glass articles, & Robert Grahm’s ‘moca torso’ sculpture.

It’s the second of my Joan Didion estate sale posts, inspired by the writer’s personal home decor & writing items (one and the same in some ways) recently auctioned by STAIR.

This time around you can shop her infamous tortoise shell Céline shades, tools for literal gas lighting (or just like, living room ambiance creation), a Richard Serra catalogue inspired by “Malcolm X” a painting of Serra’s collected by Didion), floral Victorian chairs that make a bedroom a space, & more perfect objects to make home look & feel like a writer’s retreat or vacation.

WWJD | What would Joan do?

She’d escape to a lowkey spot in Latin America to write prose so good that she’d end up garnering fans who never even read her work.

No reading shame here though. Just a continuation of curated lifestyle goods inspired by the recent Joan Didion estate sale at Hudson’s Stair Galleries. (& a denim selection that fits like the perfect, slightly grunge, boot cut jeans).

Featuring words from literature & private letters - Cynthia Grow’s works capture experience & emotion through discards, ephemeral & revised materials.

When I discovered Philosphers of the Smoking Room, a series exhibited at The Other Art Fair Brooklyn (Saatchi’s art fair), I knew that this was work & a mind I wanted to engage further.

We start here.

Discovered at Saatchi’s The Other Art Fair, Bailey Consta’s works of watercolor on paper are a deeply saturated, varied landscape of figurative paintings, abstractions that are sometimes landscapes, & the occasional photograph.

There is a sense of cohesion in the variety. A signature aesthetic present in these works that are, for the artist, a way of healing self & land.

Excellent additions to existing collections as well as perfect gifts for him, her, & you, the Saatchi sourced works featured here, including ‘transport’, pictured as the cover photo, are personal favorites.

Works that you can purchase directly from the artist, & that stand out to me as truly evocative - include Two Souls at Sunset, Wanderer, Becoming More Like the Land, Oceanic Lift, & Vague.

Consta’s pieces are viewable at galleries in both NYC & Pakistan. Private collectors live in places like Berlin, Albuquerque, Colorado, & maybe sometime soon,

your city.

Christy Powers’ portraiture stood out at my last visit to the Other Art Fair in Brooklyn - which I approximate happened in 2021.

Her works are impressionist, documentarian, & contemporary. They echo the inspiration of a NY born artist & are an extension of a practice honed at Sarah Lawrence & the College of Fine Arts at the University of New South Whales - exhibited in spaces including the Queen Victoria Museum, Kudos Gallery, & the Bronx Museum.

The selection of one of a kind works below, created with acrylic, ink, & gauche on wood mounted Yupo paper, were painted during the earliest days of the pandemic for the Artist Support Pledge.

They are “Icon” paintings. & I too have felt inspired by the portrayed figures.

Inspired by my own frequent, long haul travel, & quest to pack the perfect bag… selections from the Saks sale.
