How The Art World Works

Karen scheduled a “secret guest” to swing by our place and introduce themselves while we were in NYC earlier this year. This week’s guest is a “blue chip gallery artist” and a real-ass homie. They’re being honored with a retrospective at the ICA-LA opening September 29th, 2019 called “No Wrong Holes: Thirty Years of Nayland Blake”.

Dismissed for failing to embrace the traditional roles of motherhood, Gertrude was able to successfully navigate the choppy waters between a sustainable art career and responsible matriarch deftly and continued to chart a course for other women to achieve success as well. Her striking images of motherhood are just as relevant today as they were then, echoing the same fears and questions all moms have at some point.
