The famed minimalist had been on the roster of Pace Gallery for the last three decades; after his death in 2019, the gallery represented the estate.

BASEL, Switzerland Just over a century ago, during another pandemic, the Swiss Marionette Theatre in Zurich closed. The play “King Stag” ended its run in September 1918, after three sparsely attended performances. The Spanish flu kept its audience away.

Who: Kathia St. Hilaire (b. 1995) hails from Miami, Florida, and her paintings draw from her Haitian identity, mixing images of Caribbean seascapes and family gatherings with the ephemera of daily life in the diaspora.
Based in: New York and Palm Beach, Florida
Showing at: Perrotin Gallery
Prices: Her painting
Irma, a response to the Hurricane Irma that hit Miami in 2017, sold quickly at the VIP opening. It was priced at $10,000.
Why You Should Pay Attention: A recent graduate of Yale’s MFA program, St. Hilaire “is already making groundbreaking work and her career is just beginning,” said collector Bernard Lumpkin. The Lumpkin-Boccuzzi Family Collection of Contemporary Art acquired several of her paintings.
