WELCOME

Welcome to the San José Museum of Art’s 2026 Gala + Auction.

It is an honor to gather with you—fellow Trustees, generous sponsors, civic leaders, hard-working staff, dedicated volunteers, and beloved artists. The Museum and our community are stronger, more vibrant, and more connected because of your support and investment in the arts. Thank you for your leadership.

Tonight, we celebrate the Museum’s vital role in Silicon Valley’s culture of innovation. Your support allows us to invest in future innovators and creative problem-solvers who will shape the next chapter of our region. Your generosity ensures that our thought-provoking exhibitions, awardwinning education initiatives, and enriching public programs reach the broadest possible audience. Through our education programs alone, we engage more than 25,000 students each year—giving them the tools to think critically, communicate confidently, and approach challenges with imagination.

The arts have never been more important. They power economic development and urban revitalization while also providing solace, promoting empathy, and nurturing community connection. They remind us of the profound challenges and responsibilities of being human, even as they bring joy, wonder, and awe into our lives.

Your presence here tonight helps keep art—and the creativity it inspires—at the heart of Silicon Valley’s future. Thank you for being a vital part of our creative ecosystem.

We hope you have a wonderful evening celebrating art, community, and the San José Museum of Art.

ABOUT OUR HONOREES

Alison Saar

Alison Saar’s artistic practice is a material and spiritual reclamation that invokes the past in order to reconsider the present and future. Best known for her sculpture and printmaking, Saar (b. 1956, Los Angeles, California) masterfully wields found materials to physically reposition and recontextualize the histories, mythologies, and folklore of a global range of communities, particularly the African diaspora and Indigenous peoples. Saar’s representational approach uses the figure as a metaphoric vehicle to bridge the historic and contemporary, the personal and universal. Saar delves deeply and vulnerably into her subjects, exploring key themes such as race and identity, womanhood and motherhood, and spirituality and the body.

Saar was born in Laurel Canyon and raised in a constant state of creative exploration by the accomplished artists Betye and Richard Saar. Saar received her BA in studio art and art history from Scripps College (Claremont, California) and her MFA from Otis-Parsons Institute (Los Angeles), now Otis College of Art and Design.

Renowned for her monumental sculptures, Saar has been commissioned for public works around the world. In 2024, she was selected by the International Olympic Committee and the City of Paris to create a sculpture honoring the legacy of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. She is also developing a major new work titled Torch Song for the Obama Presidential Center, which opens in Spring of this year. The cast bronze figure is inspired by the Statue of Liberty and by Chicago’s blues heritage.

Saar has received numerous fellowships and awards, including the 2025 David C. Driskell Prize, which recognizes her enduring impact on African American art. Her work is represented in major public and private collections worldwide, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the High Museum of Art (Atlanta, Georgia), the Art Institute of Chicago (Illinois), the Smithsonian American Art Museum (Washington, DC), the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), the National Gallery of Australia (Parkes), and the Equal Justice Initiative’s Freedom Monument Sculpture Park (Montgomery, Alabama).

The Adobe Foundation creates positive change through support for creative and digital literacy, social equity and opportunity, and active engagement in the communities where they live and work. The Adobe Foundation is a private foundation created and funded by Adobe Inc.

Retail: $10,000

Biography

Lordy Rodriguez is a contemporary artist whose work uses the visual language of cartography to draw attention to complex social, environmental, political, and cultural issues. Drawing from maps, geographic systems, and architectural forms, Rodriguez transforms factual locations into abstracted, fictional terrains. His work explores the human impulse to locate and define oneself through the precise charting of space, blurring the boundaries between mapping, memory, and imagination.

In Greenland, he examines the geopolitical consequences of marketing, misinformation, and perception. Rodriguez isolates Greenland from any surrounding geography, depicting it from a direct, aerial perspective without reference to other nations. Presented as an autonomous form, the island is rendered neither more nor less significant than its true proportions suggest. Yet he overlays the surface with sparkling rhinestones. Like a glittering commodity, Greenland becomes a “shiny object,”

its petro-resources and strategic value attracting outsize political attention.

Rodriguez received a BA from the University of Houston in 1997 (Texas) and a BFA from the School of Visual Arts (New York) in 1999. He earned his MFA from Stanford University (California) in 2008.

Rodriguez’s works have been exhibited and collected by many museums, including the San José Museum of Art, and his numerous public art projects can be found throughout the United States.

Gauri Gill is a Delhi-based photographer who has exhibited within India and internationally. Her first major survey exhibition opened at the Schirn Kunsthalle (Frankfurt, Germany) in 2022 and traveled to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Humlebæk, Denmark) in 2023.

In 2015, Gill began collaborating with papier-mâché artists of the Kokna and Warli tribes in Maharashtra, India, who are renowned for their sacred masks. For the series “Acts of Appearance,” she invited her collaborators to go beyond the confines of their traditional mask making and develop a new set of forms. Creating vibrant color photographs, Gill improvises with her collaborator-subjects as they engage in everyday village activities and inhabit new masks that recall animals, humans, and revered objects, made expressly for this body of work.

Gill has received several awards, including the prestigious Prix Pictet award for photography and sustainability in 2023. In 2011, she was awarded the Grange Prize, Canada’s foremost award for photography.

Gill’s work has been shown at Tate Modern (London, England), Ishara Art Foundation (Dubai, United Arab Emirates), Victoria and Albert Museum (London), the 58th Venice Biennale (Italy), Chennai Photo Biennale (India), among other places.

Her work is in the collections of prominent institutions worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Victoria and Albert Museum, Tate (England), the Smithsonian Institution (Washington, DC), San José Museum of Art, and the Fotomuseum (Winterthur, Switzerland).

Retail: $14,000

Biography

Rina Banerjee is an Indian American artist and sculptor. Drawing on her multinational background and personal history as an immigrant, Banerjee’s practice engages questions of ethnicity, race, migration, and American diasporic histories.

Her ambitious mid-career survey, Make Me a Summary of the World, was organized by the San José Museum of Art and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (Philadelphia). It traveled to the Fowler Museum at UCLA (Los Angeles), the Frist Art Museum (Nashville, Tennessee), and the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University (Durham, North Carolina). Other solo museum exhibitions include presentations at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery Washington, DC) and the Musée Guimet (Paris, France).

Her work is held in numerous international public and private collections, including the Fondation Louis Vuitton (Paris), the

Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Brooklyn Museum (New York), the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (Delhi, India), and the San José Museum of Art.

Alicia McCarthy

Born 1969, Oakland, California

Lives and works in Oakland, California

Untitled, 2024

Color pencil, spray paint, and Flashe paint on wood panel 24 × 24 inches

Courtesy of the artist and pt. 2 Gallery

Retail: $10,500

Biography

Alicia McCarthy engages with the immediate world around her and uses a decidedly focused color palette on mixed-media panels. Sincere and intense but also playful, McCarthy transforms found wood surfaces into bursts, geometric blocks of color and woven patterns that are often emphasized by text and spray paint. These “paintings” bear a sculptural weight that is juxtaposed by their deceptively simple mark and image making. Although visually abstract, McCarthy’s motifs—a weave or rainbow, for instance—are deeply personal and the works often include an indication of physical presence, such as the ring left by a coffee cup, print from a boot, or a note written by the artist.

McCarthy received her BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1994 and her MFA from the University of California, Berkeley in 2007. She is known for her signature style of vibrantly colored, often woven patterns on mixed-media panels.

McCarthy has exhibited internationally and has received numerous awards, including the Academy of Art and Sciences, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s SECA (Society for the Encouragement of Contemporary Art) Award, and the Artadia Award. Her work is included in a number of important public and private collections, including SFMOMA, the Oakland Museum of California, Meta HQ (Menlo Park, California), the Millennium Iconoclast Museum of Art (MIMA; Belgium), and the American Academy of Arts and Letters (New York).

Retail: $6,000

Biography

Keka Enriquez is a distinguished contemporary artist celebrated for her experimental and expressionistic paintings. Influenced by the neoExpressionist movement, Enriquez’s work is characterized by textured brushstrokes, bold colors, and innovative form. Renowned for her exploration of domestic interiors, traditionally the domain of women, Enriquez subverts the masculine art movement to delve into the psychological and social dimensions of home. Through her manipulation of pigment, texture, and surface, she retrieves and reshapes the multilayered experience of the homescape while contemplating the significance of painting as a whole. After 25 years of working within her San Francisco community, Enriquez returned to the art world in 2023. A showcase in 2024 unveiled a series of new oil-on-canvas paintings highlighting the evolution of her practice.

Enriquez embarked on her artistic journey in the 1980s under the mentorship of Roberto Chabet, widely acclaimed as the father of conceptual art in the Philippines. The artist graduated with a BFA in painting from the University of the Philippines.

She has exhibited her work in the Philippines, the United States, England, Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. In 1994, she was a recipient of the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ Thirteen Artists Award. Under a grant from UNESCO, she obtained her master’s degree in fine arts at the Norwich School of Art and Design (England) in 1995.

Retail: $18,000

Biography

David Huffman is a painter who explores identity, memory, and the material implications associated with the Black diasporic experience. Raised in the Bay Area among civil rights activists and Black Panther radicals, Huffman has a longstanding interest in change, speculative stories, and science fiction. Mixing and editing these references, Huffman sees his practice as “social abstraction.” His “Traumanauts” series, for example, depicts Black astronauts exploring the cosmos in search of their origins outside of the constraints of gravity and history.

Huffman studied at the New York Studio School and received his MFA at the California College of Arts and Crafts (San Francisco). He has been the recipient of numerous awards and residencies, including the Eureka Fellowship, the Artadia Award, Palo Alto Public Arts Commission, and the Barclay Simpson Award. In 2022, Huffman was the subject of a solo exhibition at the Museum of the African Diaspora (San Francisco).

His work is in the collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, Studio Museum in Harlem (New York), Harvard Art Museums (Cambridge, Massachusetts), Oakland Museum of California, San José Museum of Art, and Denver Art Museum (Colorado), among others.

Biography

Ala Ebtekar is an internationally exhibited visual artist whose multidisciplinary practice investigates the collapse of time, space, and perception to illuminate contemporary experience. For more than two decades, Ebtekar has woven ancient image-making traditions with experimental processes to explore cosmic phenomena, the phenomenology of light, and extended durations of time.

Ebtekar is the founder and director of Stanford University’s Art, Social Space and Public Discourse, a global initiative that investigates how art reshapes public space and civic life through critical frameworks, art projects, and cultural exploration.

He has completed more than a dozen public and civic art commissions, including major works for San Francisco International Airport, Alserkal Avenue (Dubai, United Arab Emirates), the Asian Art Museum (San Francisco), and Meta HQ (Menlo Park, California).

Retail: $14,000

Biography

Wanxin Zhang is a Chinese American sculptor based in San Francisco who is widely recognized for his large-scale ceramic figures, abstract ceramic forms, and bronze works. He is regarded as a leading figure in the Bay Area clay movement, known for expanding the expressive and conceptual possibilities of ceramics through sculpture that bridges figuration, abstraction, and cultural memory.

Zhang received his formal training in China after the Cultural Revolution, graduating in 1985 with a degree in sculpture from the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Art (Shenyang, China). After establishing a professional career in China, he immigrated to the United States in 1992 and continued his studies at the Academy of Art University (San Francisco), where he further developed the sculptural language that defines his mature practice.

Zhang has been the subject of numerous solo museum exhibitions, including presentations at the Bellevue Arts Museum (Washington), and Peninsula Museum

of Art (Burlingame, California; 2015). In 2019, the Museum of Craft and Design (San Francisco), organized Wanxin Zhang: The Long Journey, a mid-career survey. In 2021, his work was featured prominently in This Present Moment: Crafting a Better World at the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery (Washington, DC).

His awards include a Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculptors Grant and a Virginia A. Groot Foundation Grant. Zhang’s work is held in numerous public and private collections.

Retail: $12,000

Biography

Analia Saban dissects and reconfigures traditional notions of painting, often using the medium of paint as the subject itself. Frequently including plays on art historical references and traditions, her work blurs the lines between painting and sculpture, imagery and objecthood. Paintings expand to sculptural forms, and sculptures are presented in two dimensions.

Saban currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California. She received a BFA in visual arts from Loyola University (New Orleans, Louisiana) in 2001 and an MFA in new genres from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 2005.

In 2012, Saban was the recipient of the Norton Museum of Art’s Rudin Prize for Emerging Photographers. She also participated in the Hammer Museum’s 2012 group exhibition Made in LA.

de Vigo (Spain), deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum (Lincoln, Massachusetts), Los Angeles County Museum of Art, SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah College of Art and Design (Georgia), and Gemeentemuseum (The Hague, the Netherlands), among others. Saban will have a major solo exhibition at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum (Saint Louis, Missouri) in September 2027; the exhibition will open at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in April 2027.

Retail: $9,500

Biography

Hung Liu is known for her paintings based on historical Chinese photographs, and her subjects over the years have included prostitutes, refugees, street performers, soldiers, laborers, and prisoners, among others. As a painter, Liu challenges the documentary authority of historical Chinese photographs. Washing her subjects in veils of dripping linseed oil, she both “preserves and destroys the image,” dissolving the documentary images while bringing out the latent cultural and personal narratives fixed in the photographic instant. Liu invented a kind of weeping realism, one that surrenders to the passage of time and summons the ghosts of history to the present. A two-time recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in painting, Liu also received a Lifetime Achievement Award in Printmaking from the Southern Graphics Council International in 2011.

Liu studied mural painting as a graduate student at the Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing before immigrating to the US in 1984 to attend the University of California, San Diego, where she studied under Allan Kaprow, the American originator of Happenings.

Her works have been exhibited extensively and collected by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the National Gallery of Art (Washington, DC), the Asian Art Museum (San Francisco), San José Museum of Art; and the Los Angeles County Museum, among others. She taught at Mills College from 1990 to 2014, after which she continued as professor emerita.
