Miya Ando’s artwork is a visual meditation on the cycles of nature and the passage of time; concept, image, and material are inextricably linked. Though the artist is based in New York, this work is connected to a period Ando spent in Bolinas, California, and to her deep relationship with the coastal Northern California environment.
Radiant of the Ursids Meteor Shower
December 19 2020 is from a series of drawings that serve as direct recordings of the night sky between March 17, 2020, and September 7, 2022. The project, named Nanayo, was inspired by an esoteric Japanese ritual that translates to “waiting for seven nights” wherein the faithful await moonrise and offer prayers during the 17th through the 23rd lunar evenings of each month. The drawing was made using natural indigo dye and micronized pure silver on washi and Hahnemühle paper.

Retail: $15,000
Masako Miki’s paintings, sculptures, and installations blur the boundaries between the sacred and the secular. Miki’s work is influenced by the Indigenous culture of her Japanese birthplace as well as the freedom and ambition the artist has experienced over three decades of living in California. Miki populates this work with empowering and enigmatic characters that recall the Japanese legend of Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons), in which demons, spirits, and monsters roam the streets of Japan by night.
Neglected by society, these creatures
find an outlet for protest through the night parade, serving as metaphors for the struggle for individuality, equity, and respect in a world filled with systemic challenges and prejudices. Miki’s work celebrates the joy that comes from continuously endeavoring through our challenges together.
BIOGRAPHY
Masako Miki has a BFA from Notre Dame de Namur University, Belmont, California, and an MFA from San José State University. She has enjoyed solo shows and projects at the de Young Museum, San Francisco; Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA), California; Institute of Contemporary Art San José, California; and KMAC Contemporary Art Museum, Louisville, Kentucky. Her work is currently on view in the two-person exhibition (Super)Natural: Paul Klee and Masako Miki, at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA). Her work is in the permanent collections of SFMOMA; BAMPFA; the McEvoy Foundation for the Arts, California; the Colección SOLO, Madrid; and the Byrd Hoffman Water Mill Foundation, New York, among others.

Chinese Library No. 52 is part of Xiaoze Xie’s acclaimed “Library Series,” a large body of work he has continued to develop since 1993. Depicting stacks of thread-bound Chinese books with dense layers of decaying pages, the composition takes on an architectural quality, suggesting the strata of memory and the weight of history. Warm, late afternoon sunlight falls on the edges of these volumes, reminding us of the passage of time and transience of memory.
Xiaoze Xie’s work was most recently on view at SJMA in the exhibition Encode/Store/Retrieve (2023–24).
BIOGRAPHY
Xiaoze Xie is an internationally recognized artist and the Paul L. & Phyllis Wattis Professor of Art at Stanford University.

Retail: $11,000
Squeak Carnwath draws upon the philosophical and mundane experiences of daily life in her paintings and prints, which can be characterized by lush fields of color combined with text, patterns, and identifiable images. Carnwath created Sit Grey during a 2018 fellowship at the Ballinglen Arts Foundation in Ballycastle, Ireland. The work incorporates recurring iconography such as blocks of color and a ship alongside an outlined map of County Mayo. Carnwath observes and describes the local environment through color swatches and text that reads, “the sky and sea / sit grey / in wind and rain / orange beaked birds / watch / the waves / later, sun pokes out / of the sky / the sea and sky / wear little / sleeves / of pink.”
Squeak Carnwath’s work is in SJMA’s collection.

Retail: $4,800
Hayal Pozanti’s paintings are love letters to the earth. They celebrate, remember, and immortalize the beauty of the natural world. Her paintings begin with en plein air sketches. Made in the wild, in a moment of observation, they are about being present and painting the world as it is felt, not as an exact representation. Pozanti’s early paintings investigating artificial intelligence and human reliance on technology led her to question the absence of intuition, emotion, and connection to the natural world in contemporary lives. With a growing concern for climate-related disasters, Pozanti decided to shift focus in her life and work to consider new worlds inspired by the beauty of the natural landscape in her current home of Vermont. The flourishing growth of nature in Pozanti’s work is both a metaphor for the human imagination and a vision of life beyond human exceptionalism.
Hayal Pozanti’s work is in SJMA’s collection.
BIOGRAPHY
Hayal Pozanti has a BA from Sabanci University, Istanbul, and an MFA from Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, East Lansing, Michigan; JPMorgan Chase Art Collection, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; SJMA; UCLA Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Smith College Museum of Art, Northampton, Massachusetts; and Long Museum, Shanghai. She has been awarded large-scale public projects and commissions by the New York Public Library; Public Art Fund, New York; and Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University, Ohio. She has enjoyed institutional solo shows at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, Connecticut, and Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York.

Edition 7 of 20

Retail: $12,000
Hung Liu’s luscious paintings, based on historical photographs and newspaper imagery, earned her international recognition for her sensitive look at Chinese history. Liu long paid witness to the tribulations of everyday people, past and present, and their hidden stories of social injustice. She grappled with issues of self, society, and politics—as well as the challenge of reconciling disparate cultures. The “Music of the Great Earth Variations” series comprises eight variations on an image originally realized as a 40-foot-wide mural at the Central Academy of Art in Beijing. The imagery is drawn partially from drawings by Liu based on Chinese murals of court musicians, layered with lyrical passages of color and Liu’s trademark washes of linseed oil.
SJMA organized the exhibition
Questions from the Sky: New Work by Hung Liu in 2013. In 2018, Hung Liu joined SJMA’s Board of Trustees and was the Museum’s first Gala + Auction artist honoree in 2019. Her work is well represented in SJMA’s collection.
BIOGRAPHY
Hung Liu earned a BA in education at Beijing Teachers’ College before studying mural painting at Beijing’s Central Academy of Fine Art. She came to the US in 1984 to attend the University of California, San Diego, where she earned her MFA in 1986. At the time of her death, she was professor emerita at Mills College (now Mills College at Northeastern University), Oakland, California, where she taught from 1990 to 2014. Recent solo exhibitions of her work include those at the de Young Museum, San Francisco; Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, Eugene, Oregon; National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC. Her work is included in the collections of the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City, Missouri; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. She received the National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in painting twice (1989 and 1991), the Society for the Encouragement of Contemporary Art (SECA) Award from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (1992), the Eureka Fellowship from the Fleishhacker Foundation (1993), and a Lifetime Achievement in Printmaking Award from the Southern Graphics Council International (2011).

Visage X, No. 17: Rainbow, 2024
Gouache on khadi paper
31 × 23 inches
Courtesy of the artist and Nancy Toomey Fine Art, San Francisco
Retail: $9,800
Visage X, No. 17: Rainbow is part of a series by Monica Lundy that celebrates archetypes of womxn. A tribute to Lundy’s mentor, the artist Hung Liu, the portrait is based on Liu’s Chinese passport from 1984. The passport accompanied Liu everywhere—including her first Venice Biennale in 1991, where the artist Robert Rauschenberg autographed the back page, calling it her “passport to the art world.” A love letter from mentee to mentor, Lundy’s resulting work honors Liu and the San José Museum of Art, where Liu served on the Board of Trustees.
Inspired by the Neo-Impressionist movement’s joyful use of color, Lundy combined influences, such as pointillism and the halftone pattern used in old newsprint, Pop art, and digital media, to create a vibrant “screen” of hand-painted dots. Collapsing time, artistic styles, and techniques, the portrait summons Liu’s ghost in vivid color and sees her anew, inviting us to dig deeper into, grapple with, and revisit history.
BIOGRAPHY
Monica Lundy holds a BFA in sculpture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA in painting from Mills College (now Mills College at Northeastern University), Oakland, California, where she worked closely with artist Hung Liu (1948–2021). Lundy’s site-specific installations have been mounted in unusual venues such as Alcatraz Island and Fort Point in Golden Gate State Park, San Francisco, and Rome’s historic decommissioned psychiatric hospital Santa Maria della Pietà. Lundy has been the recipient of several fellowships and awards, including the Jay DeFeo Award, an Irvine Fellowship, and a San Francisco Arts Commission Grant. She has been an artist in residence at the American Academy in Rome as well as at the Lucas Artist Residency at Montalvo Arts Center, Saratoga, California. She is the subject of the recent monograph Monica Lundy (2022), published by Silvana Editoriale, Milan, featuring essays by four distinguished authors, with a lead essay by Dorothy Moss, director of the Hung Liu Estate.

Courtesy of the artist
Retail: $16,000
Kelly Akashi is known for her materially hybrid works that are compelling both formally and conceptually. Originally trained in analog photography, the artist is drawn to fluid, impressionable materials and old-world craft techniques, such as glassblowing and casting, candle making, bronze and silicone casting, and rope making. Through evocative combinations that seem both familiar and strange, Akashi cultivates relationships among a variety of things to investigate how they can actively convey their histories and potential for change. In Seismogram, a friendship necklace from a broken relationship accompanies a voluminous glass leaf. The recognizable jewelry signifies one part of a meaningful relationship, fragmented and separated between bodies. This contemporary artifact speaks to shared and individual senses of time and history. Tiny formations made from pieces of chewing gum are also affixed to the leaf. Enveloped in saliva, the gum emits the scent of spearmint or cinnamon, which leaves its trace in the air temporarily.
In 2022–23, SJMA presented
Kelly Akashi: Formations, the artist’s first major museum exhibition.
BIOGRAPHY
Kelly Akashi received her BFA from Otis College of Art and Design, Pasadena, and her MFA from University of Southern California, Los Angeles. She also studied at the Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste – Städelschule, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. She concluded a major solo exhibition entitled Formations at SJMA, which traveled to the Frye Art Museum, Seattle, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (2022–24). Other important solo exhibitions include Encounters, Henry Art Gallery, Seattle (2023–24); Cultivator, Aspen Art Museum, Colorado (2020–21); a thing among things, ARCH Athens, Greece (2019); and Long Exposure, SculptureCenter, New York (2017). She is a winner of the 2024 MOCA Distinguished Women in the Arts Award, the 2022 LACMA Art + Technology grant, and the 2019 Carolyn Glasoe Bailey Foundation Art Prize. Akashi’s work can be found in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego; SJMA; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Frye Art Museum; Cantor Arts Center, Palo Alto, California; CC Foundation, Shanghai; X Museum, Beijing; The Perimeter, London; and Sifang Art Museum, Nanjing, China, among others.

Retail: $28,000
Christine Sun Kim considers how sound operates in society, deconstructing the politics of sound and exploring how oral languages operate as social currency. Musical notation, written language, infographics, American Sign Language (ASL), the use of the body, and strategically deployed humor are all recurring elements in her practice. Index Tip and Repeat is part of a series that explores both the ASL sign for DEBT and the idea of indebtedness on literal and metaphorical levels. Whereas there is no widely used writing system for ASL, Kim has pursued many visual strategies across her practice to convey the movements and subtleties of the language. Here she draws from comic book and cartoon motion lines to describe the directionality, intensity, and impact of the sign for OWE.
Arranged rhythmically in a loose grid suggesting a score, the drawing conveys the unrelenting quality of indebtedness on the level of financial health and in terms of social debt: What do we owe to each other in our society?
SJMA acquired Christine Sun Kim’s sound installation One Week of Lullabies for Roux (2018) at the 2024 Council of 100 ArtPick event.
BIOGRAPHY
Christine Sun Kim received an MFA in music/sound from Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, in 2013.

Kim was awarded an inaugural Disability Futures Fellowship by the Ford Foundation, an MIT Media Lab Fellowship, and a TED Senior Fellowship. Her works are held in museum collections around the world, including those of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; SJMA; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Tate Britain, London; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; and Whitney Museum of American Art.

The Wolf Watcher’s Dream 13, 2022 Hand-painting, monotype, and screenprint on Lana Royale 250gsm cream 20¼ × 16¼ inches
Courtesy of the artist and Gallery Wendi Norris, San Francisco Value: $12,500
Across a 25-year practice that spans South Asia, North America, and Europe, Chitra Ganesh has developed an expansive body of work rooted in drawing and painting and encompassing comics, animation, wall murals, collage, video, and sculpture. With enormous passion for detail, Ganesh combines a multifaceted palette of cultural influences with the visual idiom of vintage comics, Bollywood posters, and video games. In her practice, she delves into narratives and images drawn from the cultural history of South Asia without veering into nostalgia. Her work instead challenges conventions of gender, sexuality, and power by centering complex mythological narratives around iconic female protagonists.
The Wolf Watcher’s Dream 13 belongs to a series of 26 monoprints. Ganesh begins each work with a watercolor monotype. She then layers a variety of techniques, including screenprint, embroidery, and hand-painting, to build her compositions. Vast washes of color act as a backdrop
for the screenprinted figures, diffusing a sense of space in these airy yet grounded dreamscapes.
Chitra Ganesh is SJMA’s 2024 Gala + Auction artist honoree and has several works in the Museum’s collection.
BIOGRAPHY
Chitra Ganesh received a BA in art semiotics and comparative literature from Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island; attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Maine; and received an MFA in visual arts from Columbia University, New York. Recent solo exhibitions include those at the Brooklyn Museum, New York; MoMA PS1, New York; The Kitchen, New York; the Rubin Museum of Art, New York; the Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh; and Gothenburg Kunsthalle, Sweden.

Muzae Sesay’s Coarse Comforts was featured in his 2023 solo exhibition
The Breeze and I, at Philip Martin Gallery, in Los Angeles. The series—the artist's first to center a fictional story—unfolds like a cinematic narrative, following an unnamed Black cowboy traversing a Western landscape. True to Sesay’s style, the artwork is not overtly figurative; the protagonist remains hidden in the work. The narrative is suggested but left largely to the viewer’s interpretation. Coarse Comforts presents an abstract take on the nature and imagery a cowboy might encounter on their westward journey. A darkened landscape is illuminated by a fiery motif at the center of the canvas, providing light and warmth to the unseen traveler. Sesay’s bold, layered brushstrokes emphasize a rugged and largely unknown landscape to both the viewer and the subject.
BIOGRAPHY
Muzae Sesay received his BA in sociology from San Francisco State University. Sesay has exhibited locally across the Bay Area at the Institute of Contemporary Art San José; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco; and pt.2 Gallery, Oakland, California; nationally at Philip Martin Gallery, Los Angeles; and The Cabin, Los Angeles; and internationally at Eighteen Gallery, Copenhagen, and Public Gallery, London. Sesay has created public projects for the City of Oakland; Museum of the African Diaspora, San Francisco; San Francisco Arts Commission; and Facebook Artist in Residence program, Menlo Park, California.
