Mere Mortals: Cj Hendry Deals In at Phillips

 

 

New York, NY (August 28, 2026) — This August, artist Cj Hendry will present Mere Mortals, a playful and nostalgic exhibition at Phillips New York, inspired by the imaginative world of trading cards and childhood toys.

 

The concept began at home, watching her children trade cards with friends, alongside the wonderfully strange toy creations that have long captured her imagination. Bringing her signature sense of humor and whimsy to the idea, Cj has created a cast of unexpected characters made from a mix of familiar forms and mismatched parts — a world of 52 original characters brought to life as collectible trading cards.

 

Complete with claw machines and collectible surprises, the exhibition invites visitors to play, explore, and reconnect with the excitement of childhood in a hands-on, engaging environment.

"Mere Mortals started as this silly, joyful idea watching my kids trade cards with their friends, and it turned into a whole cast of characters I couldn't stop making," said Cj Hendry. "Getting to bring that world into a space like Phillips, and have people actually play with the work instead of just looking at it, is exactly the kind of collaboration I love."

 

"We're thrilled to welcome Cj back to Phillips with Mere Mortals," said Christine Miele, Sales Director, Ecommerce, Phillips. "Our previous collaborations with Cj and her team were met with tremendous enthusiasm — from her Crowns in New York to juju in Hong Kong — and we're delighted to continue building on that excitement together. This project brings a playful, accessible energy into our space at 432 Park Avenue, and gives our audience a new way to engage with Cj's work, both in person and online."

 

Trading cards and merchandise will be available for purchase on-site at Phillips New York from August 28–30 from 10 am to 6 pm. Prints and editions will be released online at cjhendrystudio.com beginning August 30 at 7:00 pm ET. Merchandise will include trading cards featuring 52 original characters, along with t-shirts, caps, pins, stickers, bags and patches.

Lew Allen Galleries Indian Market Show Case August 7-September, 5 2026

Santa Fe Indian Market Week returns for the 104th year. Lew Allen  Galleries showcase Frits Cholder, Jaune Quick-to- See Smith, Emmie White Horse.  

INDIAN MARKET SHOWCASE Fritz Scholder, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith & Emmi Whitehorse Jaune Quick-to-See Smith Exhibition @ LewAllen Galleries On view: August 7 - September 5, 2026 On the occasion of its 50th Anniversary celebration, LewAllen Galleries is particularly pleased to present an Indian Market Showcase of original works by legendary masters Native American Art: Fritz Scholder (1937–2005), Jaune Quick-to-See Smith ​(1940 - 2025), and featuring celebrated contemporary Emmi Whitehorse. Presented in tandem, their works offer a profound dialogue on Indigenous identity, history, abstraction, and cultural storytelling. View Online Exhibition FRITZ SCHOLDER Fritz Scholder, Last Indian with American Flag, 1975, serigraph on paper, ed. 83/150, 36.5 x 31 in Beyond his original fame for having “broken the mold” in the way Native Americans are portrayed in fine art—departing radically from traditional, stereotypical depictions to portray the reality of the Native American’s actual place in contemporary society—Fritz Scholder’s contribution lies in a profound interrogation of Indigenous and metaphysical subjects. Scholder employed a deliberate alchemy of figurative distortion, transforming the human form into a vessel for psychological and philosophical inquiry that bridges the tension between cultural myth and personal reality. This Showcase features paintings and monotypes recently received from the Estate of Fritz Scholder View More By Fritz Scholder JAUNE QUICK-TO-SEE SMITH Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Spam, 1994, mixed media & collage on paper, 15 x 11 in Jaune Quick-to-See Smith’s practice functions as a powerful form of historical revisionism. Operating in the mode of a “trickster”—a sacred shape-shifting role rooted in Indigenous lore and Modernism alike—Smith constructs dense, multi-layered visual records challenging the erasure of Native experiences within the national discourse. Through a synthesis of tribal knowledge, canonical iconography, and pop-art ephemera, her work asserts the primacy of Native narratives within the broader canon of American Modernism. In 2023, Smith became the first Native American artist to be accorded a solo retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. View More By Jaune Quick-to-See Smith EMMI WHITEHORSE Emmi Whitehorse, #1229, Ice Plant, 1999, oil & chalk on paper on canvas, 39.5 x 51.25 x 2 in Emmi Whitehorse’s serene, atmospheric abstract paintings function as meditative landscapes rooted in an Indigenous and feminist worldview. Drawing inspiration from the Southwestern landscape, Whitehorse creates compositions using layered grounds of oil wash, Conté pencil, pastel, and chalk—translating the intricate visual rhythm of traditional Navajo weaving into fluid abstraction. Centered on the Navajo concept of hózhó—“walking in beauty”—her work reflects a lifetime dedicated to maintaining a harmonious balance with the natural world. A member of the Navajo Nation with a career spanning over four decades, Whitehorse’s work is held in major international collections, including the Brooklyn Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the National Gallery of Art, among many others. Whitehorse’s work has been the subject of dozens of museum and gallery presentations and is currently on view at the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian in Santa Fe through October 3.

Untitled Art Edit's Collectors Series part four . See details below.

As part of our Edit’s Collection Building series, we explore the personal philosophies, relationships, and experiences that shape how collections take form. In this edition, we speak with Beau Necco, a Miami-based collector and entrepreneur whose approach to collecting is grounded in curiosity, meaningful dialogue, and the connections forged through art with his partner, Heather Martin. From studio visits and travel to longstanding relationships with artists and galleries, Necco reflects on building a collection through trust, discovery, and the enduring experience of living with work that moves him.

Edit

Untitled Art (UA): What does it mean to you to be a collector? Beau Necco (BN): To me, collecting is about the connection. The works I live with remind me as much of conversations, friendships, and experiences as they do of aesthetics. Some of the most meaningful moments have been talking with artists, hearing how they think, and understanding what drives them.

"Seeing work in different contexts and countries — museums, artist studios, regional exhibitions — changes the way you understand it.  Over time, you start noticing threads between artists and movements that help your collection develop naturally.” - BN

Laura Footes, I'll Stay In the Shade, 2025. Image courtesy of Carl Freedman Gallery.  UA: What do you enjoy most about Miami Art Week? BN: The people. It’s always about the people. During Miami Art Week, the entire city transforms into this enormous conversation about culture, design, architecture, music, and art. But for me personally, the best part is always the human side of it — reconnecting with artists, meeting new people, and having those unexpected conversations that only seem to happen during that week. There’s an openness and creative energy that feels really special.

Lola Stong-Brett, When I Didn't Think I'd Feel Again, 2025. Image courtesy of Carl Freedman Gallery.  UA: Do you have a specific philosophy you adhere to with your collecting and any advice you'd give to emerging collectors for how to meaningfully develop their own collections? BN: My advice to emerging collectors is to spend time with artists and galleries before worrying about market conversations. Go to studios, ask questions, read, travel, and trust your eye. You don’t need to buy the biggest name in the room for a collection to have meaning. Often the most rewarding relationships come from supporting artists early and growing alongside them.

“Art has always inspired me — visually, emotionally, and intellectually. Over time, what began as admiration evolved into collecting, but the feeling is still the same.” - BN

UA: What, in your opinion, should the role of art fairs be in this moment? BN: I think art fairs should create access and dialogue. The best fairs aren’t just marketplaces — they’re cultural meeting points. They introduce people to artists they may never have encountered otherwise and create opportunities for real exchange.

UA: Is there an artist or artists that you discovered or acquired at Untitled Art, and do you have any highlights from the fairs in Miami Beach or Houston? BN: Some of my favorite moments last December came while working with Robert Diament from Carl Freedman Gallery at Untitled Art, Miami Beach. I was especially drawn to the work surrounding the Margate artists — Lola Stong-Brett, Laura Footes, and Lindsey Mendick. Their work is now in my home here in Miami. Honestly, the highlight is rarely about the acquisition itself. It’s about meeting the artists, hearing the stories behind the work, and understanding the environments they come from. I was fortunate to meet Lola and Laura, among many others, and the great Tracey Emin when I visited Margate earlier this year. Those conversations stay with me as much as the pieces do.
