Tania Franco Klein's RAGE™ at Yancey Richardson Gallery Explores Anger as Commodity

exhibition · 2026-10-13

From September 10 to October 17, 2026, the Yancey Richardson Gallery in Chelsea, New York, showcases Tania Franco Klein's exhibition titled RAGE™. This display delves into the concept of anger as both a personal and cultural phenomenon, employing vivid colors and visual styles reminiscent of advertising and media. The trademark symbol in the title implies that personal feelings can be commodified. Featured pieces include The Scream (Self-portrait), 2025; Game Over (Self-portrait); The Scream Televised (Self-portrait); and Office, TV (Self-portrait). Gender dynamics are significant, with women subverting traditional portrayals of anger in cinema. Born in Mexico in 1990, Franco Klein has a background in architecture and holds a master's in photography, with her work included in prestigious collections such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Getty. RAGE™ offers a critique of the interplay between emotion and spectacle.
