Honor

Rachel Feinstein
High Line Plinth

In 2023, Rachel Feinstein was invited to submit a proposal for the fifth and sixth High Line Plinth commissions, to be installed in 2026 and 2027 in New York. She was nominated alongside forty-eight other artists by an international advisory committee of artists, curators, and arts professionals convened by High Line Art. In March 2024, Feinstein’s Castle on the Rock proposal was one of twelve shortlisted by the committee. Maquettes of the shortlisted proposals are on view in the Coach Passage on the High Line at 30th Street from March 19 through June 2024, and the public is encouraged to share their feedback on the High Line website, which will be considered by the curatorial team during the selection process.

In this video Rachel Feinstein and Yvonne Owens, professor of art history and critical studies at the Victoria College of Art, Canada, discuss Feinstein’s practice as well as the artist’s new book Rachel Feinstein: Mirror, which documents the eponymous 2022 exhibition at Gagosian, Davies Street, London, and features an essay by Owens. Comprising paintings on mirror and a large stained-wood sculpture titled Metal Storm (2021), the exhibition was animated by Feinstein’s fascination with the human figure and historical and cultural narratives.

Commission

Rachel Feinstein
Marriage Ring

The Jewish Museum, New York, has commissioned Rachel Feinstein to create a new piece of Judaica for their collection. Inspired by two historical forms—medieval-style architectural Jewish marriage rings and tower-shaped ceremonial spice containers, both represented in the museum’s collection—Feinstein, in collaboration with Ippolita, created Marriage Ring (2023). This fantastical ring, rendered in sterling silver dipped in 18-karat gold, stands almost a foot tall, and takes the shape of a highly ornate castle.
