Below are some of the most compelling artworks at accessible price tiers.

Carolina Fusilier
Quiet persistence of a particle, 2025
Margot Samel (Positions)
What happens to the machines that outlive us? Argentinian artist Carolina Fusilier searches for the answers in her sculptures. Her recent hybrid sculpture-paintings imagine what technology might look like long after obsolescence – worn down, adapted, or repurposed over time. Comprising an oil painting framed by styrofoam, papier-mâché, and aluminum wiring, Quiet persistence of a particle resembles a mysterious sci-fi device, still buzzing with electricity in a post-human world.
Maya Man
(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes #6, 2024
bitforms gallery (Zero 10)
Like many who came of age after the advent of social media, Maya Man is fluent in the internet’s performative logic. The New York-based artist uses custom software to remix digital culture into installations, websites, and algorithmic works that critically examine the ways we present ourselves online. In (The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes #6 (2024), Man pairs Hans Christian Andersen’s cautionary fairytale The Red Shoes with Depop listings for secondhand red shoes. User-generated images and listing descriptions cycle through a live generative sequence accompanied by shifting sounds; this framed print captures a still from that performance and comes with an NFT.

Widline Cadet
From the Void / Imaginary Landscape #1, 2025
Nazarian / Curcio (Nova)
Working between video, photography, and installation, Widline Cadet’s work draws on her family’s experience of migrating from Haiti to the United States. In her solo presentation at Nazarian / Curcio’s booth in the Nova sector, Cadet’s new series combines archival family photographs with portraits she took in Los Angeles – each set inside a custom half-moon frame based on the Haitian breeze blocks she remembers from childhood. With a cropped glimpse of two reclining figures set against a floral background, From the Void / Imaginary Landscape #1, (2025) is a tender combination of present and past.
Azadeh Elmizadeh
Folding In, 2025
Franz Kaka (Positions)
Drawing from poetry, allegory, and speculative cosmologies, Azadeh Elmizadeh’s painterly vocabulary is made up of soft edges, thin washes, and shifting hues. New canvases on view in Franz Kaka’s booth drift between figuration and abstraction. Folding In (2025), veils of red ochre and blue create hazy crescents and dissolving edges, suggesting forms on the cusp of recognizability. The piece belongs to a new body of work developed after her 2024 solo show, in which the Toronto-based artist turned toward more introspective compositions.
Under USD 30K
Kelsey Isaacs
Love in the Italian Theater, 2025
Theta (Positions)
New York-based artist Kelsey Isaacs paints lush, large-scale, dramatically lit tableaus. But before she ever picks up a brush, Isaacs sets the stage. Each painting begins in an unused movie studio, where the artist organizes miscellaneous found objects – plastic scraps, ribbons, rhinestones, feathers, and debris – into still lifes which she photographs and paints from. Theatrical lighting, smog-like haze, and cinematic compositions are a nod to the visual culture of Los Angeles, where Isaacs was born. In Love in the Italian Theater (2025), feathers, tape, and debris have their moment in the spotlight.
Tyler Hobbs
From Noise #7, 2025
SOLOS gallery (Zero 10)
As generative technology takes hold in contemporary art, Tyler Hobbs shows that you can create the same aesthetic nuance with software as traditional mediums. The Austin-based artist built a custom painting algorithm that creates images mark by mark. From Noise #7 (2025) is generated from more than 4,000 individual strokes and a fixed palette of 64 colors. Siting somewhere between computation and gestural abstraction, the result recalls canvases by mid-century artists like Joan Mitchell and Cy Twombly. Hobbs’s final images are recorded on the blockchain platform Ethereum, and also translated into physical prints on wood panel.
Under USD 50K
Liz Collins
Exquisite, 2025
Candice Madey (Nova)
Following an illustrious career in fashion design, Liz Collins brought her textile finesse to the art world, creating installations, tapestries, and wearable works that honor queer and feminist craft lineages. The Brooklyn-based artist developed a technique she calls ʻknit grafting,ʼ which involves fusing multiple panels and materials into a single surface. The graduating tones of her new works featured in her solo presentation at Candice Madey’s booth are inspired by early 20th-century spiritualists like Hilma af Klint. In Exquisite (2025), vibrant pink chevrons meet cascading red peaks that seem to liquefy down the surface, as if the paint were generating its own heat.
Akeem Smith
Carrion, 2025
Heidi (Nova)
Akeem Smith creates a compelling material history of Jamaican dancehall. Smith’s grandmother designed looks for dancehall parties, and the Kingston-born, New York-raised artist draws from his extensive personal archive of photographs and videos documenting dancehall culture, as well and architectural remnants salvaged from buildings connected to it. Presented in Heidi’s booth, the sculpture Carrion (2025) is formed from layers of weathered metal sheets with rusted seams, coming together into a textured assemblage – its visible wear echoing Smith’s interest in decay and time’s imprint on social spaces.
