LONDON
.-Victoria Miro announced the representation of Ali Banisadr. The Brooklyn-based artist, acclaimed for his urgent, ravishing paintings that deftly combine elements of figuration and abstraction within a signature language, will present new work as part of the gallerys forthcoming online group exhibition themed around the colour blue (from 24 February). A solo exhibition will take place at the gallery in 2022. The first major monograph on the artist is published by Rizzoli in May 2021.

Destinee Ross-Sutton made headlines over the summer when she organized a nearly sold-out online exhibition for Christie’s titled “Say It Loud (I’m Black and Proud).” It came with a twist: every collector who bought work from the show had to sign a contract pledging not to flip the work.
Now, Ross-Sutton, a 25-year-old artist advocate, advisor, curator, and gallerist, has brought that same energy and the same protective measures for artists to a gallery of her own. Ross-Sutton Gallery’s inaugural show, “Black Voices: Friend of My Mind,” opened on December 19 at 155 Wooster Street in SoHo, the 8,000-square-foot former home of iconic gallerist Paula Cooper. The exhibition marks the first iteration of what Ross-Sutton d
