That sentiment—about the importance of cross-cultural circulation—was echoed by Emilia Yin, whose gallery, Make Room, is making its debut at the fair this year. The L.A.-based gallery works with a number of international artists, particularly those from the Asian diaspora. Among those represented in its booth are Sun Woo, a Korean Canadian painter whose featured work, The Reach (2024), feels at once gothic and futuristic; and Xin Liu, a Chinese multimedia artist (and Artsy Vanguard alum) whose work considers the body through the lens of technology. For Yin, the breadth of the gallery’s program is essential to its mission. “Especially during a political climate like this, it’s important to share what could be a different, diverse way of thinking and understanding the world,” she said. “So we’ll continue to support a diverse, very international group of artists.”
