SmithDavidson Gallery is delighted to announce its return to PAN Amsterdam, presenting a curated selection of modern and contemporary art.
This year, alongside highlights from the gallery’s permanent collection, four debut artists will be introduced to PAN Amsterdam audiences for the first time.
Eve Arnold (1912–2012), renowned Russian-American photographer and the first female member of Magnum Photos, is celebrated for her intimate portraits of Hollywood icons such as Marilyn Monroe, Joan Crawford, and Anjelica Huston. Beyond the glamour, she documented the women’s rights and civil rights movements, and the lives of working people worldwide. On view will be three rare photographs from The Misfits (1961), Monroe’s final film.
Cathelijne Wouters brings a refined sensitivity to her contemporary practice through an expressive interplay of line, form, and emotion. Her colored line drawings, on display at this year’s fair, explore human connection and introspection with a delicate yet powerful touch.
Diana Korn, a German artist, explores the ambivalence of modern society through sculptural works that question our patterns of consumption and perceptions of beauty. With a distinctive blend of critique and humor, Korn’s art engages viewers in a dialogue on the contradictions of contemporary life.
Hanne Arends, a Dutch multidisciplinary artist, will present works from her recent series Rebels. These bold, playful glass sculptures reflect on themes of childhood, creativity, and the freedom to simply be, capturing a sense of joy and authenticity that defines her practice.
Continuing its long-standing commitment to Australian First Nations Art, SmithDavidson Gallery will also feature the abstract works of Kudditji Kngwarreye, whose vivid compositions speak to Country, culture, and ancestral memory.
Through this dynamic blend of international voices and First Nations perspectives, SmithDavidson Gallery invites visitors to experience a space of connection, contrast, and conversation, a meeting point of artistic narratives that celebrate both individuality and universality.
