Bearing Witness: A History of Prints by Joyce J. Scott
A historic installation of Joyce J. Scott’s printmaking comprised of 30 works on paper made over five decades, from the 1980’s to present day. Through that time, we both facilitated prints with Scott at Goya-Girl Press and have maintained a print archive of collaborative prints.
Amalie Rothschild's Modernist Eye
A selection of works curated from six decades, Amalie Rothschild’s Modernist Eye, highlights Rothschild’s ability to bridge abstraction and figuration, formal geometry and intuitive gesture—with a visual language as disciplined and rigorous as it is expressive.
From This Nature Springs
From This Nature Springs showcases an exquisite array of artworks by gallery artists and beyond including Timothy App, Louise Bourgeois, David Brown, Ed Clark, Leonardo Drew, Joan Mitchell, Liliana Porter, Soledad Salamé, Fanny Sanin, Jo Smail, and Jack Whitten.
Jo Smail: Bees With Sticky Feet
Mixing diverse cultural and biographical influences as multifarious as her life experiences, Smail draws upon aspects of her African past and Baltimore present, alongside a deep engagement with international literature, theory, and art history.
Alan Shields: Of His Time and Ahead Of His Time
Known for his unrestricted fluency across media, Shields created unique, avantgarde, and imaginative structures that blur the hierarchy of materials using unconventional methods. Animated by sensuous lines and energetic shapes, these works pulsate with innovation and discovery.
Sonya Clark: Hair/Goods: Homage to Madam C. J. Walker
Presenting artwork by textile and social practice artist Sonya Clark, whose work addresses the social and political impact of the African Diaspora through material-based objects that address race, heritage, language, visibility, and global Blackness.
Both Sides Now: The Spirituality, Resilience, and Innovation of Elizabeth Talford Scott
Elizabeth Talford Scott’s objects feel as fresh and relevant today as the days they were constructed, proving Scott a significant artist, whose work was not only of her time but is timeless.
The Soul Selects: Louise Fishman and Her Heroes, Agnes Martin, Joan Mitchell, and Eva Hesse
During Louise’s celebrated 60-year career, it was her good fortune to know Mitchell, Martin, and Hesse. This exhibition is the first to consider Fishman’s quintessential paintings in the context of her friendships with the women who gave her the courage to be herself.
Timothy App: Equipoise
Over the past five decades, contemporary American painter Timothy App has developed a substantial body of work that engages in a meticulously disciplined yet nuanced exploration of hard-edge abstract painting and works on paper.
Soledad Salamé - We the Migrants: Fleeing / Flooding
Presenting artworks by Chilean born artist Soledad Salamé, whose new work reflects the experiences and insights of migration and the current global refugee crisis related to climate change, often at the hands of human-made problems, and exacerbated by its sociopolitical impact.
Louise Bourgeois: Anatomy
“Our own body could be considered, from a topological point-of-view, a landscape with mounds and valleys and caves and holes. So it seems rather evident to me that our body is a figuration that appears in Mother Earth.” -Louise Bourgeois
Lynn Silverman: In A Matter of Time
Silverman’s recent work draws upon scroll-like photographs discovered while sorting through decades of materials within various archives. Originally captured with large-format panoramic cameras, they serve as subject and object in her conceptual, transformative investigations.

Save The Country Now
2025
36 x 28 inches
Silkscreen on paper
Edition of 40
Published by Goya Contemporary / Goya-Girl Press
When asked to describe the print, Kass expressed deep concern over the current erosion of democracy, highlighting the profound human cost to both Americans and the rest of the world as the United States edges closer to a dangerous form of dictatorship, and Europe moves closer to war. Regarding the work, she stated, "Save the country. It's now or never. I don't know what else to say.”
Sonya Clark
The Bluest, Twisted
2023-2024
36 x 24 inches
Lithograph on Rives BFK paper
Edition of 30
Published by Goya Contemporary / Goya-Girl Press
“The Bluest, Twisted connects visual representations of hair, the fiber we grow, to text. And it is significant that Toni Morrison died the year the CROWN act was written, in 2019.” The Bluest, Twisted overlays all the pages from The Bluest Eye transliterated into an alphabet (called Twist) that Clark created using her own hair. The Bluest, Twisted builds upon itself to form a black mass of natural hair that, when framed and glazed, becomes a mirror, and reflects the viewer. “It is important the viewer sees themselves in this work,” says Clark. “My font, made in curl pattern of African hair, resists the European dominance of the Roman alphabet’s widespread use. Twist re-centers Africa as the cradle of humanity. It returns us to our roots.”
Sonya Clark
The Huest Eye
2023-2024
36 x 24 inches
Embroidered thread on Rives BFK paper
Edition of 12
Published by Goya Contemporary / Goya-Girl Press
Clark explains: “In The Huest Eye the colors follow the order in which they appear in the writing. The length of each color block corresponds to the length of the word. Red is a short block, whereas purple is longer. I did the green and white together in some places, as this is where Morrison refers to the Dick and Jane stories, which commingle into compressed, unseparated words as the novel progresses.” Clark goes on to explain that the entire piece “is meant to correspond with The Bluest, Twisted as a solid mass. And of course, if you mixed all those referent colors together, one would arrive at black.”
