Sandra Shashou:
Shashou’s work integrate vintage and antique objects forming a series of deeply personal and introspective works. These pieces explore themes of resilience, fragility, and unwavering courage, the authentic foundations of love. Each creation reflects the complexities of human emotion, capturing both the delicate and enduring aspects of the heart’s journey.

Safiyaa:
Safiyaa offer timeless elegance, bespoke craftsmanship—Safiyaa’s ready-to-wear and demi-couture collections effortlessly blend sculpted femininity with an exquisite mastery of design. Every piece is a work of art, where rich, luxurious color palettes harmonize with intricate details and precise tailoring. The collections embody sophistication, exuding confidence and grace with every silhouette. Safiyaa’s vision is not just fashion; it’s a celebration of the modern woman’s strength and beauty, brought to life through impeccable craftsmanship and refined style.

Sotheby’s:
Throughout history, Kiddush cups have been passed down as treasured family heirlooms due to their profound religious and cultural significance. This Fall, Sotheby’s will present a remarkable treasure: the earliest known Kiddush Cup.

Recent research dates the cup to the 11th or 12th century, and places it firmly on the Silk Route, in or around the historic region of Khorasan (home at the time to a thriving Jewish community).

Not only is the The Cup of Joy an extraordinary piece of history, its elegant inscriptions in both Hebrew and Arabic illustrate the richly intertwined histories of Islamic artistry and Jewish tradition. Examples of medieval Judaica are extremely rare, and – of the less than two dozen pieces that are known – this cup is the earliest.

Pace:
Michal Rovner’s work shifts between the poetic and the political to explore questions of nature, identity, dislocation, and the fragility of human existence.

Rovner reinterprets historical memory and contemporary themes through her multimedia practice, in which she employs drawing, printmaking, video, sculpture, and installation. By recording and erasing visual information, where specifics of time and place are obscured, her works become gestural, layered, and abstract reflections on the continuum of human experience.
