NEW YORK – 24 MARCH 2026 – This spring, Phillips will offer A Life in Color: Property from the Estate of Tina Hills across a series of auctions in New York from April through September. Hills, an influential figure in Miami and beyond, helped shape the city’s cultural landscape through decades of civic engagement and philanthropy. In 1977, she became the first woman to lead the InterAmerican Press Association, advancing its mission to protect freedom of the press throughout the Americas. Alongside her second husband, Lee Hills — the editor who guided the Miami Herald to its first Pulitzer Prize — she assembled a farreaching collection defined by expressive color and dynamic compositions. This vision is embodied most prominently in Joan Mitchell’s Plain from 1989. A work from the final and most distilled phase of Mitchell’s career, Plain embodies her powerful synthesis of gesture and remembered landscape. Spanning a monumental diptych nearly six feet wide, the canvas translates the sensations of the French countryside around Vétheuil into lyrical tangles of brushwork and radiant fields of color. Acquired from the Robert Miller Gallery, the painting remained in the Hills’ collection for nearly four decades and now appears at auction for the first time in the Modern & Contemporary Art Evening Sale on 19 May in New York, alongside other major works by Helen Frankenthaler and Adolph Gottlieb. Additional works will be featured in the April Editions & Works on Paper auctions — including colorrich prints by Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, and others — as well as subsequent Modern & Contemporary Art sales in May and July, the June Jewels and Design sales, and September Design Online.

 

The Family of Tina Hills stated, “Tina was a pioneer in every facet of her life and consistently broke through the expectations placed on women of her generation. From her remarkable career in publishing—including her tenure as the first female President of the Inter-American Press Association — to her philanthropic work across Puerto Rico and Miami, she brought a brilliant mind, deep curiosity, and effortless grace to everything she did. A passionate collector of art across mediums and periods, her home reflected a lifetime of curiosity, discernment, and joy in discovery. We are honored to work with Phillips to share her extraordinary collection and to celebrate the lasting legacy of a woman whose vision and generosity touched so many."

 

Vivian Pfeiffer, Phillips’ Deputy Chairman, Senior International Specialist, New Markets, said, “Tina Hills remains a deeply respected figure in Miami, remembered for the civic presence and generosity that helped shape the cultural fabric of the city. Her decadeslong commitment is still evident today, from her support of the Pérez Art Museum Miami to the pavilion that bears her name in Bayfront Park. Alongside her public life, she was an avid collector with an eye for bold, expressive canvases by PostWar figures such as Joan Mitchell, Adolph Gottlieb, and Helen Frankenthaler, and she brought that same discernment to design, assembling exceptional works by artists including William Morris, Dale Chihuly, Toots Zynsky, and Jon Kuhn. It is a profound honor for Phillips — and for me personally — to be entrusted with presenting Ms. Hills’ collection this season, containing many artworks which will be seen for the first time in decades while the pre-sale exhibitions are on view in Phillips’ New York galleries.”

 

David Lawrence Jr., Former Publisher of the Miami Herald and Chair of The Children’s Movement of Florida, added, “I met Tina Hills more than a half-century ago. She swept into the room — the most elegant person I have ever known. Great taste in every way. You saw it in her home, her art and, most of all, in herself. A major leader in journalism and so much more. I give Tina and her legendary husband Lee much credit for my own interest in art — and my service first to the Detroit Institute of Arts and then these past 37 years at what has become the Pérez Art Museum of Miami. A great collection; most of all, a great person.”

 

ABOUT TINA HILLS

Argentina “Tina” Schifano was born in Pola, Istria, Italy, which is now part of Croatia. She immigrated to New York with her parents in her early teens and later studied at New York University. While working at the iconic Buitoni-Perugina company, she met publisher Angel Ramos, owner of El Mundo, Puerto Rico’s most prestigious newspaper and WKAQ Radio El Mundo. Quickly becoming immersed in the publishing world, her work reflected a deep commitment to freedom of the press. Tina became deeply involved in inter-American journalism, eventually rising to national prominence as the first woman to serve as President of the Inter-American Press Association. Following Ramos’ passing, Tina continued to guide publishing and media interests in Puerto Rico. She led a major philanthropic foundation in Angel Ramos’ name, which supports education throughout Puerto Rico.

 

Her later marriage to Lee Hills brought her into the center of mainland American newspaper leadership, and together, the couple played a major and vital role in supporting Miami’s cultural institutions, including efforts that shaped the early vision of what is now the Pérez Art Museum of Miami. Tina Hills also served in prominent civic and cultural positions across Miami-Dade County, with roles at the Dade County Arts Council, the Bayfront Park Management Trust, and the Florida Grand Opera. The pavilion at Bayfront Park bears her name, honoring her decades of dedicated service to the city.

Jamie Forbes shows her Environmental Photographs in in Two Exhibitions March 26, and 28th.

Jamie Forbes  exhibitions this week at the The Moriches Bay Art Alliance Group Show at the Brookhaven Town Hall Gallery, 1 Independence Hill, Farmingville, NY 11738, Thursday March 26, 3-7 PM, and the  Mill Pond House, 176 Mills Pond rd. , St James. 

  As a photographer, Jamie Forbes steps into each moment, capturing the intrinsic energies exchanged between her subjects and her camera. Forbes’s goal is to offer viewers not only a historical record but also to reveal the deeper intent present within every photograph. Through her Eco-Art perspective, both in portraiture and scenic imagery, Forbes seeks to initiate a dialogue between the viewer and the artist. This conversation is designed to promote the concept that “we live with others” and are all participants in sharing and shaping our environment.
From the Galactic Dust SunSet Series ©JamieForbes/SunStormArtsPub.Co.Inc,2026
Forbes’s images possess a timeless quality of interconnectedness, conveying the subtle, underlying conversations that tell the story of the environment and the complex exchange between the natural world and the boundaries imposed by human cultivation. As Forbes states, “The images represent a story of my encounters that state the narrative understanding between the subject and photographer.” Her work is informed by five decades of experience in the international art community, where she has contributed as a publisher, gallerist, writer, and photographer.

COOPER COLE is pleased to present It splits off, gently lifting under the pull, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Russna Kaur. This marks the artist’s first presentation with the gallery.

The exhibition brings together a group of large-scale, multi-panel paintings that operate in the space between what is visible and what remains concealed. Resistant to immediate interpretation, the works sustain a sense of ambiguity, allowing forms and meanings to shift over time.

Through mark-making, composition, and scale, the paintings gesture toward memory and identity before dissolving back into abstraction. Bright, vibrant colours initially appear playful but quickly give way to friction and instability. Within this tension, surfaces peel and shift, revealing something unspoken. Kaur’s abstractions carry the weight of personal and cultural histories without fixing meaning, leaving the works open to multiple
interpretations, and inviting contemplative engagement.

Layering shapes form the meaning of Kaur’s paintings. Panels of canvas are assembled together, emphasizing the work’s physical structure. Repeated gestures, accumulated paint, and overlapping surfaces become analogues for emotion and generational memory. These processes echo Kaur’s early studies in biology, which sharpened her attention to hidden systems, internal frameworks, and the accumulation of time. Rather than resolving these tensions, Kaur sustains them, allowing the paintings to remain dynamic spaces where meaning is continuously formed and undone.


 
 
Russna Kaur (b. 1991, Brampton, Ontario, Canada) is an artist whose abstract paintings are characterized by an experimental use of colour and materials. Kaur completed a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Waterloo and a Master of Fine Arts at Emily Carr University of Art + Design.

Kaur has exhibited at the Kamloops Art Gallery, Kamloops; Remai Modern, Saskatoon; Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver; Audain Art Museum, Whistler; College Art Galleries at the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan; Art Gallery of Burlington, Burlington; Galerie Isa, Mumbai, and Gajah Gallery, Yogyakarta. Kaur has been an artist-in-residence at the Burrard Arts Foundation, Vancouver; Centrum Emerging Artist Residency, Port Townsend; Independent Artist Residency, Los Angeles; Wassaic Project, New York, and the Annandale Artist Residency, Prince Edward Island.

Kaur’s work is held in numerous private, corporate and institutional collections including the TD Bank Collection, RBC Art Collection, Desjardin Collection, Audain Art Museum, the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Surrey Art Gallery, and the Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art. Kaur lives and works in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
