Uffner & Liu returns to the Galleries Sector of Art Basel Miami Beach for the second time, with a group presentation that spotlights the gallery’s commitment to artists who challenge the canon, by offering innovative processes, critical perspectives, and radically personal narratives. Featured artists include Piper Bangs, Anne Buckwalter, Gianna Commito, Bernadette Despujols, Hilary Harnischfeger, Sheree Hovsepian, Sacha Ingber, Arghavan Khosravi, Talia Levitt, Pam Lins, Reginald Madison, Sarah Martin- Nuss, Joshua Petker, Anna Jung Seo, and Roger White.
Highlights of the booth include two paintings by octogenarian artist, Reginald Madison (b. 1941, Chicago), who joined the gallery this fall. Madison is a self-taught African-American artist whose practice bridges abstraction, figuration, and the intuitive energy of free jazz. Madison’s works—rooted in decades of experimentation—are deeply tactile, often built from found wood, tar, and richly layered matte pigments mixed directly on his studio walls. The two works on view in our Art Basel booth are from 1999 and 2005.

Personal memories and cultural identity are at the core of the presentation. Debuting at the fair is a new sculptural diptych by Arghavan Khosravi (b. 1984, Shahr-e-kord, Iran), whose elaborate, intricate works draw from a variety of rich cultural sources, including Persian miniatures and Bernini marbles, in an effort to represent how women exert their strength and agency in unsettling conditions. Similarly, a new painting by Bernadette Despujols (b. 1986, Barquisimeto, Venezuela) depicts Venezuelan migrants sent earlier this year to a notorious maximum-security prison in El Salvador built to house accused Salvadoran gang members. Despujols’ tactile, intimate portraiture draws from both personal memories of her Venezuelan-American family as well as political moments of the fraught reality of migration.

The gallery will also present a new installation, titled Crying Eyes, by Pam Lins (b. Chicago, IL). Crying Eyes is an ongoing series by Lins that features variable numbers of ceramic eyes arranged in dynamic installations. In these turbulent political times, crying becomes not a sign of fragility but an act of solidarity and empowerment—especially when echoed by so many individual eyes weeping in unison. Parallel to the fair, Lins’s work is part of a two-person show with Roger White at the gallery.
Elsewhere, the gallery exhibits new sculptures by Hilary Harnischfeger (b. 1972, Melbourne, Australia) and Sacha Ingber (b. 1987, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), whose upcoming solo shows at the gallery open in January and March 2026 respectively. Finally, Talia Levitt (b. 1989, Brooklyn, NY), who completed a major new commission for the Jewish Museum this past October, will exhibit a new painting in her signature faux- tapestry style.
