Taste Contemporary is delighted to announce that we will be showing the work of Annabeth Rosen for the first time in Switzerland. In beginning this journey, we are excited to present her work at Art Genève 2026.
For more than three decades, Annabeth Rosen has been a pivotal figure in contemporary sculpture, fundamentally reshaping the language of ceramics. Working in fired and glazed clay, her sculptures appear to resist fixed contours, stable form, or even consistent scale—shifting perceptually as the viewer moves around them. Art historian and critic Nancy Princenthal has described Rosen’s works as volcanic, beastly, catastrophic, and unnervingly funny, evoking moments where things seem to be going terribly wrong, yet remain strangely unresolved and alive. Major Achievements include:
Fellowships and Awards
– Awarded two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts: The Pew Fellowship and the Guggenheim Fellowship
– Recipient of the Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors Award
