Artist Honoree – Katherine Bradford
Katherine Bradford (b. 1942, New York, NY) paints vibrant canvases that place characters, including mothers, superheroes, and swimmers, in abstract fields of saturated and sumptuous color. She started painting at the age of thirty while living in Maine and was among the group of artists who moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn in the 1980s. She has exhibited widely at institutions such as MoMA PS1, New York; the Brooklyn Museum; the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, TX; Crystal Bridges Museum, Bentonville, AR; Prospect 4, New Orleans US Biennial, LA.

Her work is included in collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Brooklyn Museum; Musee d’Art Moderne Paris, the Dallas Museum of Art; and the Menil Collection, Houston TX. Her work has been shown at galleries including: Canada, Sperone Westwater, Pace Gallery, Anton kern Gallery and David Zwirner in New York; Pilar Corrias in London, Campoli Presti in Paris; Haverkampf Liestenschneider Galerie, Berlin; Kaufman Repetto, Milan; and Tomio Koyama, Tokyo, Japan.

Bradford is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Joan Mitchell Grant. She has taught at institutions such as the Yale School of Art, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia. A recent monograph, Katherine Bradford: Paintings, was published by Canada in 2018. In September a two-person exhibition from Bradford and Diedrick Brackens opened at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard. In 2022, Bradford was the subject of a touring retrospective organized by the Portland Museum of Art in Maine that traveled to the Frye Museum in Seattle Washington. In 2024 Bradford’s survey show “American Odyssey” was exhibited at Halle fur Kunst Steiermark in Graz Austria.

Philanthropic Honoree – Aileen Agopian
Aileen Agopian has spent more than 28 years working at the highest level of the Post-War and Contemporary Art world. She founded AGOPIAN inc./ art advisory in 2016 to work with private collectors as well as corporate, estate and non-profit clients worldwide building their art collections and offering a wide-range of art expertise. Prior to establishing her bespoke firm, Aileen had an acclaimed career in the auction industry. She worked at Sotheby’s as the Senior International Director of Post-War and Contemporary Art, as well as the Co-Head of Contemporary Art Auctions in Doha, Qatar. Before this time, she helped establish the Post-War and Contemporary Art Auctions at Phillips in New York in 2000, as its Director of Contemporary Art North America for 10 years. As an accomplished auctioneer at both Sotheby’s and Phillips, Aileen continues to conduct charity auctions worldwide. She began her career in London as the sales director at White Cube Gallery in the mid-1990s, working with artists such as Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin, who were at the beginning of their burgeoning art careers.

The Coalition for the Homeless is extremely grateful to Aileen for her devotion and energy over the past 14 years in support of ARTWALK NY, both as auctioneer and as a longtime core member of the Art Advisory Board. Her compassion and commitment have been critical to the event’s continuing success and has helped uplift the lives of countless homeless New Yorkers.

Live Auction

A painting depicting a parent with two young children on a shoreline. The figures are rendered in soft, hazy brushstrokes with warm tones of red, purple, and pink. The adult, dressed in red, with the children, faces a vast, dark sea, with the horizon glowing faintly in the distance.

Katherine Bradford

This watercolor painting depicts a small, spotted fawn standing amidst tall grasses and vibrant pink and yellow flowers. The background is black, contrasting with the bright, warm colors of the fawn and the surrounding flora.

Ann Craven

Intricate webs of chaotic overlapping white and light-colored lines cover a dark background with hints of red. The background transitions subtly from dark to light, with areas of soft red glow adding depth to the composition.

José Parlá

A minimalist print featuring the bold red words "HERE AND NOW" overlaid on blue shading. The text is framed by a simple black rectangle with the cardinal directions "NORTH," "SOUTH," "EAST," and "WEST" labeled on the corresponding sides of the frame. The blue shading behind the red text adds contrast and depth to the composition. The bottom corners feature the artist's signature and the edition number (72/75).

Ed Ruscha

This vibrant artwork features four elongated, fluid-like characters meeting at the center of the canvas, forming a cross shape. Each figure is painted in a different color—orange, purple, pink, and teal—against a textured black background. The characters appear to be melting or dripping, with their forms stretching outwards from the center.

Kenny Scharf

An expressive and textured painting depicts a colorful landscape under a wide, open sky. The sky, painted in a soft lavender hue, features bold, sweeping strokes of bright blue and white. Below, the foreground is filled with abstract floral shapes in pink and red, with yellow and green stems and branches emerging from the ground.

Joan Snyder

Diana Al-Hadid

A dynamic abstract painting featuring layered swirls and brushstrokes in shades of beige, black, white, and hints of blue. The piece has a textured feel with visible movement created by the sweeping lines and splattered paint marks.

Vicky Barranguet

A photograph of an art installation set in a barren desert landscape. The installation features a staircase made entirely of reflective mirrors, descending into a square hole in the ground.

Shirin Abedinirad

A tropical beach scene with a central tall palm tree and green fronds against a backdrop of a bright blue sky dotted with soft white clouds. The sandy shoreline is visible, with beach chairs scattered in the distance near the water’s edge.

The image has a layered effect with overlapping palm frond silhouettes.

Sophie Elgort

Andreas Emenius

An intricate illustration depicting a multi-story, cross-sectional view of a home. Each floor features a different scene, evoking a sense of disarray and melancholy. The top floor shows a bedroom with an unmade bed, a pile of clothes, and an American flag on the wall. The middle floor includes a cluttered kitchen with a person standing near the sink, and a living room area with scattered items. The bottom floor reveals a messy bathroom, a dining room with a cactus centerpiece, and various objects strewn across the tiled floor. The artwork combines detailed line work with a muted color palette, creating a visually engaging yet somber atmosphere.

Simon Evans™

A powerful illustration featuring two robed figures standing on books, holding up a vibrant red lotus flower. Between them is an open book with the text "The Future Is Unwritten" displayed across the pages. Behind the figures, a radiant mandala-like sunburst pattern in red and cream creates a sense of reverence. The words "Liberty - Shelter - Equality" are boldly inscribed at the bottom of the piece. The color scheme is red, black, and cream.

Shepard Fairey

Ela Fidalgo

A vase of pink and white tulips sits at the center, surrounded by a cup of coffee, a small red toy car, a plate holding two pears, and a notebook with a pen resting on it.

Deborah Kass

A drawing of a red car driving through a dark, heavily shaded background. The car is roughly sketched with thick black lines and bright pink color, with undertones of red.

The figures, dressed in bright green, blue, and purple, appear to be sitting closely together.

Marisol Martinez

A black-and-white photograph from January 1986 featuring drag icon Lady Bunny, dressed in a gown with feathered accents and heavy makeup, holding a large inflatable bunny. The inflatable bunny has exaggerated cartoonish features with big ears and a smiling face. Lady Bunny's expression is slightly wide-eyed and dramatic, adding to the theatrical feel of the image.

Patrick McMullan

Robert Melee

A painting featuring a human figure with arms raised. The figure is adorned with horns, and its body is accentuated with bold, reflective highlights in black and brown hues. Swirling yellow ribbons float around the figure. The background transitions from purple to brown, dotted with colorful specks and geometric shapes.

Daniel Morowitz

Mr. Brainwash

An abstract painting with a dominant light blue background. Throughout the canvas, irregular black and white streaks and patches appear, creating a textured, marbled effect that contrasts with the smooth blue.

Jeff Muhs

This black-and-white photograph features a figure with intricate full-body tattoos, draped in a flowing white fabric. The figure's head is replaced by an enormous, highly detailed rose blossom.

Reka Nyari

Emilia Wild Olsen

The piece features an intricate, swirling pattern of coral pink lines that form an abstract shape. The background is a rich, deep blue with lighter blue splashes.

Emilio Perez

David Pher

Dana Robinson

The artwork features an abstract composition in black and white. The central form is created by thick, expressive brushstrokes that appear to be layered white over black and blended.

Jamel Robinson

James Rosenquist

An abstract composition dominated by rich shades of red, pink, and purple. The painting showcases layered geometric shapes and organic forms, with a central flower-like subject that seems to radiate outward.

Maja Ruznic

A vertical sculptural piece featuring an intricate and organic arrangement of materials. The artwork consists of long, dangling strands of various textures and colors, primarily in earthy tones of brown, green, and gold. The strands are made of twisted fibers, beads, fabric, and other materials, giving the piece a tactile, woven appearance. At the top, multiple loops of wire or metal rings hold the strands together, with some extending downwards in a cascade.

Theda Sandiford

Beatricia Sagar

An abstract painting featuring bold black brushstrokes sweeping across a pale beige canvas. In the center, a dynamic shape is outlined in turquoise with a bright yellow triangular form on top.

Emilie Stark-Menneg

This stained glass artwork features a vibrant abstract design with large, angular shards of glass in vivid hues of orange, yellow, and red. The stained glass is set within a weathered white frame, enhancing its raw and hand-crafted aesthetic.

Justin Sterling

A vibrant mixed-media tapestry, the artwork features an abstract composition on a canvas using materials like raffia, wool, lurex, thread, and pearls. The piece showcases bold, flowing shapes in shades of purple, pink, red, and blue, interwoven with textured elements and fine details.

Lizel Strydom

A complex and layered collage artwork features a mix of abstract and representational elements. At the center, a pair of wooden-textured hands hold a vintage camera, in front of the image of a person’s face, which is rendered in black and white with a distorted, grainy texture. Surrounding the central figure, the background is a collage of various textures and colors, including earthy browns, purples, and blues.

Alison Elizabeth Taylor

Light casts long, sharp shadows across a room highlighting a figure whose face is illuminated with a warm, golden tone. The figure has their hair pulled back and is looking toward the light. The room is painted in hues of grey, cream and blue while the face is aglow with yellows, oranges and reds.

Boris Torres

Sophie Wahlquist

A small, rectangular painting features a central image of a narrow, vertical slit that gradually transitions from deep blue at the edges to a lighter blue at the center. Inside the slit, a black sky is visible, dotted with small white stars and a single pink sphere, resembling a planet. The painting is mounted in a sculptural frame that appears to be made of a glossy, ceramic material in shades of soft pink and black. The piece is displayed against a plain white wall.

Emily Weiner

A vibrant abstract painting features irregularly shaped, vertical color blocks arranged in a grid-like pattern. The grid is loosely defined by hand-drawn lines in red, green, and purple. The blocks of color include shades of blue, green, pink, and orange, each with varying opacity and texture, creating a watercolor effect. The artist's signature and the date "2021" are visible in the bottom right corner.

Stanley Whitney

Russell Young

A photograph capturing a close-up of a tree trunk in front of a brightly colored background. The tree trunk is painted with a faded red band around its midsection and leans slightly to the right. Behind the tree, a corrugated metal fence is painted in vibrant red, green, and blue sections. Dappled sunlight filters through the tree's branches, casting colorful patches of light and shadow on the fence.
