Last year was another busy one for 30-year-old curator and gallerist Storm Ascher. Through her nomadic Superposition Gallery, she staged exhibitions in London, Miami, New York, Santo Domingo, and Marrakesh—showcasing both emerging and established artists.
Now, at this weekend’s Frieze Los Angeles, she’s presenting work by February James, a self-taught artist from Washington, D.C., whose ethereal, otherworldly portraits—rendered in oil pastels, watercolor, and graphite powder—delve into the archive of Black history.
