exhibition · 2026-05-19

Alexander Berggruen presents its first solo exhibition with Emma Fineman, titled 'Devotion,' opening May 19, 2026, with a reception from 6-8 pm at the gallery located at 1018 Madison Avenue, Floor 3, New York, NY. The show features a new body of psychological paintings that center queerness within divinity, using gestural brushstrokes, original prose texts, and thick surface textures. The exhibition follows the Trump administration's removal of the Pride flag from Stonewall National Monument, and Fineman emphasizes motifs of hope and love as a celebration of queer liberation amid increasing challenges.
