Jenkins Johnson Gallery
A leading dealer of contemporary art, representing international artists working across disciplines.
📍San Francisco | New York
For Art Basel 2026, we are pleased to be presenting three paintings by longtime gallery artist Scott Fraser. Fraser is among the gallery’s oldest allies, beginning our relationship more than 25 years ago. We’re proud in this landmark year to celebrate this enduring partnership.
Classically trained, Fraser’s still-life paintings are exactingly detailed, but also humorous, thoughtful, dreamy, and curious. Painted from observation of maquettes built in his studio, Fraser’s playful compositions recall the exacting detail of classical European still-life traditions, but modern twists in their subjects and the relationships therein bring them firmly into the present. More important than his technical skill, it's Fraser's masterful compositional balance and distinct vernacular which have established him as one of the preeminent masters of contemporary realism.
Basel’s newest initiative, debuting at Art Basel 2026, is the Basel Exclusive program. Basel Exclusive seeks to emphasize the importance of seeing art in-person, and participant galleries have elected to withhold artworks from online promotion so that they debut exclusively at the fair. We will be taking part of the program with a new painting by Scott Fraser, NOT pictured above, which will be on view in our booth on the first day of the fair. Come to see this brand new piece in Jenkins Johnson Gallery, Booth C11, along with other works by Scott Fraser when the fair opens on June 16!

For Art Basel 2026, Jenkins Johnson Gallery is pleased to participate in the curated Kabinett program. Our Kabinett for 2026 features photography by legendary artist Gordon Parks, specifically from his 1966 coverage of Muhammad Ali. We are proud to present this iconic body of work, 60 years after its creation.
Parks, one of the most important photographers of the 20th century, focused on race relations, poverty, and urban life. In spring 1966, while on assignment for Life magazine, Parks met with the world heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali in Miami as he trained for a fight against the English boxer Henry Cooper.
Ali’s rise to global icon was rife with controversy and he was villainized for his political views. Parks’s coverage of him during the Civil Rights era brought a compassionate perspective, and the pair found kinship in their mutual commitment to social justice. Parks’s time with Ali revealed him to be a complex and sensitive figure and his conscientious objection to the Vietnam War sincere. They became lifelong friends, and in 2016, Parks’s iconic portrait of Ali was used in Ali’s New York Times obituary. Parks’s photographs of Ali were the subject of an exhibition at Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, in 2020 with an accompanying monograph.
Come see our Kabinett with Gordon Parks in booth C11! Art Basel 2026 opens June 16.

Opening two weeks from today! Jenkins Johnson Gallery returns to Basel, Switzerland for Art Basel, 2026.
For Art Basel 2026, Jenkins Johnson Gallery presents an intergenerational mix of our program highlighting many of our historic artists alongside new developments from some of our most vital young artists. This fresh presentation brings to the table a dynamic mix of some of our most iconic artists of multiple generations, and a large number of artists we are pleased to be bringing to Basel for the very first time. Come see us in Booth C11 for this landmark year.
We are honored to present two new works from Mary Lovelace O’Neal, from her final body of work, Hecho in México—a mano, which originally debuted at SFMoMA in 2024. Lovelace O’Neal passed at the age of 84 on May 10, 2026. This presentation is concurrent to her solo show at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. We are proud to debut our first time working with artist Mildred Howard, a legend of the Bay Area and longtime friend of Lovelace O’Neal. Our presentation at Basel features a brand new work with heroic-scale dominoes, rendered in patinaed bronze, and this showing is concurrent to her solo retrospective at the Oakland Museum of California. Our Kabinett presentation this year focuses on legendary photographer Gordon Parks’ iconic photographs of Muhammad Ali from 1966.
Additionally, we are proud to have important works by established, historic artists Wadsworth Jarrell and Esther Mahlangu. From our established artists, a neon by Lola Flash and three new paintings by Scott Fraser, one being part of the new Basel Exclusive initiative. We are also pleased to return to Basel with new paintings by Alex Jackson and Patrick Alston. New to our Basel presentation, we are pleased to present works by Genevieve Gaignard, Didier William, Tariku Shiferaw, and Patrick Eugène.
We are pleased also to announced that Karen Jenkins-Johnson, gallery founder & principal, will be speaking at an Art Basel Conversations panel discussion on Friday, June 19, moderated by Ben Luke.
Between now and the fair, we look forward to sharing more details about this landmark year.

Opening two weeks from today! Jenkins Johnson Gallery returns to Basel, Switzerland for Art Basel, 2026.
For Art Basel 2026, Jenkins Johnson Gallery presents an intergenerational mix of our program highlighting many of our historic artists alongside new developments from some of our most vital young artists. This fresh presentation brings to the table a dynamic mix of some of our most iconic artists of multiple generations, and a large number of artists we are pleased to be bringing to Basel for the very first time. Come see us in Booth C11 for this landmark year.
We are honored to present two new works from Mary Lovelace O’Neal, from her final body of work, Hecho in México—a mano, which originally debuted at SFMoMA in 2024. Lovelace O’Neal passed at the age of 84 on May 10, 2026. This presentation is concurrent to her solo show at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. We are proud to debut our first time working with artist Mildred Howard, a legend of the Bay Area and longtime friend of Lovelace O’Neal. Our presentation at Basel features a brand new work with heroic-scale dominoes, rendered in patinaed bronze, and this showing is concurrent to her solo retrospective at the Oakland Museum of California. Our Kabinett presentation this year focuses on legendary photographer Gordon Parks’ iconic photographs of Muhammad Ali from 1966.
Additionally, we are proud to have important works by established, historic artists Wadsworth Jarrell and Esther Mahlangu.

Last chance! We’re in the final week of Lola Flash: Believable.
Jenkins Johnson Gallery San Francisco is pleased to present Believable, our first west coast solo exhibition of New York based artist and activist Lola Flash. Believable debuted in our New York space in November 2025, and we are pleased to present a new incarnation of the show, which traveled to our San Francisco space, and opened Saturday, March 14, 2026. The opening was accompanied by an artist talk with Flash speaking to Jim Ganz of the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles.
The exhibition opening coincided with Women’s History Month, and in the spirit of that observance, Believable emphasizes Flash as a figure with important historical impact on photography, queer art, and activist art. The Bay Area’s tremendous history with the counterculture, political activism, and especially LGBTQ+ history further brings the exhibition new context for dialog.
In the above video, Flash discusses their on-going [sur]passing series, one of several series on view in the show. [sur]passing explores “pigmentocracy,” the notion of how lighter and darker skin in people of color have historically produced a hierarchy within which people are treated differently even within the larger schemes of racism. Produced with the goal of creating a continuum of skin tones, the series seeks to surpass colorism—considering also the Latin prefix “sur” meaning “beyond,” the works in [sur]passing consider how society can move beyond the notion of “passing” in a racial sense.
Believable closes this Saturday, May 30, 2026. Be sure to come see the show in San Francisco. #lolaflash #jenkinsjohnsongallery#contemporaryart
‘“We the people” – it’s the first words of our constitution,’ says Genevieve Gaignard
(@creativecurvyginger). ‘I’m really asking the viewers to consider who does the “we” represent?’
In this video shot at Frieze New York, Gaignard talks about her work at Brooklyn’s @jenkinsjohnsongallery, curated to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States and featuring the artist’s latest collages alongside Gordon Parks (@gordonparksfoundation),
Wadsworth Jarrell and Lola Flash (@flashnine9).
Gaignard often uses historical figures and domestic materials in her collages, photographs and installations, to explore changing perceptions and representations of racial and gender identity. ‘Pulling from the past feels like a natural thing to do,’ she explains, ‘because I think often we’re repeating history.’ She also incorporates mirrors in her works, ‘to force the viewer to not only look at the work but how they are involved in it.’
Hit the link in bio to watch the full video; and visit Jenkins Johnson Gallery at Frieze New
York (Stand B18) until May 17

Thank you to Dazed Magazine for their coverage of Frieze New York, naming our booth as one of the best in show. Isabel Bekele of Dazed aptly observes, “From Lola Flash's 2023 "Your Silence Will Not Protect You" sign to Gordon Parks 1963 portrait of Malcom X at a Chicago rally, the works tell the story of America through the Black artists who have captured it across generations.”

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Mary Lovelace O’Neal, a legend and vital voice in contemporary art.
Lovelace O’Neal was an indomitable, fiercely determined, charismatic artist who, like many female painters of her generation, fought for acknowledgement in a field too long dominated by (white) males, her struggle exacerbated by gender and race. But she persisted, and ultimately triumphed, part of a pioneering cadre of women artists and women artists of color who high-vaulted once impregnable barriers. Lovelace O’Neal is now recognized as one of the great painters of her generation, navigating between pure abstraction and narrative figuration, succeeding her way. Rebelliously, uncompromisingly defying categorizations and imposing challenges of all kinds, she integrated deeply personal stories with broader issues of racial and social injustice, her instantly recognizable style operatic, idiomatic, riveting.
We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, students, and all those whose lives she touched. Lovelace O’Neal was 84 and spent much of her time in her Yucatán studio in recent years. She is survived by her husband, the Chilean artist Patricio Moreno Toro.
Mary Lovelace O’Neal’s work is in numerous permanent collections including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the DeYoung Museum, the National Museum of African American History & Culture, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and the Mellon Foundation. She recently opened a solo exhibition at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, on view now, and later this year, she will be featured in Revelation: A Journey into Abstraction, 2026, National Museum of African American History & Culture, Washington D.C., and Hard Art, 2026, MoMA PS1, New York.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Mary Lovelace O’Neal, a legend and vital voice in contemporary art.
Lovelace O’Neal was an indomitable, fiercely determined, charismatic artist who, like many female painters of her generation, fought for acknowledgement in a field too long dominated by (white) males, her struggle exacerbated by gender and race. But she persisted, and ultimately triumphed, part of a pioneering cadre of women artists and women artists of color who high-vaulted once impregnable barriers. Lovelace O’Neal is now recognized as one of the great painters of her generation, navigating between pure abstraction and narrative figuration, succeeding her way. Rebelliously, uncompromisingly defying categorizations and imposing challenges of all kinds, she integrated deeply personal stories with broader issues of racial and social injustice, her instantly recognizable style operatic, idiomatic, riveting.
We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, students, and all those whose lives she touched. Lovelace O’Neal was 84 and spent much of her time in her Yucatán studio in recent years. She is survived by her husband, the Chilean artist Patricio Moreno Toro.

Frieze New York 2026 opens today, Wednesday, May 13! For the 2026 edition of the fair, Jenkins Johnson Gallery presents a curated booth with consideration towards the 250th Anniversary of the United States. Join us at Frieze New York in Booth B18, opening to VIPs on May 13, and to the public May 14-17.
This presentation observes a lineage of thought through people of the African diaspora across multiple generations, plotting a trajectory from important, legendary artists of the 20th century towards new developments among younger artists who are vitally important to the 21st century. Our presentation features Gordon Parks and Wadsworth Jarrell as representatives of the former group, and Lola Flash and Genevieve Gaignard as representatives of the latter group. Each artist shares a unique standpoint on their moment in our shared cultural history, and the works in this presentation are thoughtfully engaged with social and political dynamics urgent to the times.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Thank you to Frieze & Jerald Cooper for selecting Wadsworth Jarrell’s “Come Saturday” as a highlight of Frieze New York! Cooper, the founder of Hood Century, a new media agency researching, documenting, and educating the masses on African American legacies within modern architecture, design, and “the city.”
“I feel like I’ve seen this image before – but I know that I haven’t,” Cooper said of the Jarrell work on paper from 1959, continuing, “It feels almost like the essence of a Romare Bearden piece about the city and its Black folks. But it’s not; it’s definitely something that has the signature, depth, colours and vibe of a Wadsworth Jarrell image. And I’m just now figuring out about this cat. Wow.”
See “Come Saturday” alongside another work on paper, “Sketch for Mackin’ the Game,” in Jenkins Johnson Booth B18, opening tomorrow at Frieze New York, 2026!

Frieze New York 2026 opens next week! Come visit us in Booth B18 to see a cross-generational presentation curated to consider the 250th anniversary of the United States. Featuring historic works by Gordon Parks and Wadsworth Jarrell, as well as contemporary works by Lola Flash and Genevieve Gaignard, the presentation reflects the past, present, and future of the nation.
Today we want to highlight one of the new works that will debut in the booth by artist Genevieve Gaignard. The piece was inspired by the 1964 classic “A Change Is Gonna Come” by Sam Cooke, which was immediately adopted as an anthem of the Civil Rights movement. Gaignard’s new piece is not simply a tribute to the song, but channels its spirit to our moment today. What change can we foresee, or even simply imagine, in our current cultural consciousness? Presented alongside two other works by Gaignard, a subtle and complex web of associations emerges from the three works, prompting the viewer to consider all the ways past and present are still woven together.
See this and other works at Jenkins Johnson Gallery, Booth B18, at Frieze New York, 2026, opening Wednesday, May 13, 2026.

Frieze New York 2026 opens one week from today! Come visit us in Booth B18 to see a cross-generational presentation curated to consider the 250th anniversary of the United States. Featuring historic works by Gordon Parks and Wadsworth Jarrell, as well as contemporary works by Lola Flash and Genevieve Gaignard, the presentation reflects the past, present, and future of the nation.
Today we wanted to highlight two amazing works on paper by artist Wadsworth Jarrell, produced in 1959. The burgeoning Civil Rights movement had instilled a new sense of pride as well as a heightened consciousness about Black life in America. Jarrell, then a fairly recent grad of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, sought to capture an honest portrait of the beautiful and mundane minutiae of Chicago’s South Side and the distinct Black culture which thrived there.
“Come Saturday” was inspired was inspired by the rooming house at Cottage Grove Avenue and 55 Street in Chicago which Wadsworth would pass everyday on his way to work. Small details, from the fashion to the signage to the bits of trash around their feet, avoid broad cliches of nostalgia, instead bringing sincerity and specificity to the scene. “Sketch for Mackin’ the Game” similarly captures a truly specific moment in time, with a fashionable couple foregrounded against casual ladies in hair curlers, and the neon signs of neighborhood businesses.
