About the Item

The contemporary work on paper is both painting and photography, highlighting color fields. A 16 x 16in photography and oil pastel work on Hahnemuhle paper Tell Me a Story II, 2025 by Roberta Fineberg (RF) is an homage to literature (the desire/need for more wisdom today to guide the world in challenging times) and the joy of color fields. The work started out with a photograph by the artist of a French former bookstore owner’s private library in Paris. (RF had spent many evenings in the owner's English language bookshop in St Germain de Pres that hosted weekly readings.) Tell Me A Story II is on Hahnemuhle paper, signed, titled, and dated by RF on recto (front margin). Provenance: RF Studio Ships unframed. (Framing options available: Inquire) *** Artist's Bio: Roberta Fineberg (RF) is a New York-based visual artist whose multidisciplinary practice explores serendipity, experimentation, and the evolution of ideas through color, material, and process. Working across photography, drawing, installation, video, and abstraction, she investigates themes of impermanence, play, memory, and transformation. Embracing chance as an essential creative force, her work invites viewers to reconsider the relationships between observation, experience, and the physical world. Fineberg’s exhibitions include Women of Spirit at Zurcher Gallery, New York (2025); Gallery128, New York (2025); Collecting: An Art Fair at Westbeth Gallery, New York (2024); Sojourner Gallery, New York (2022); Phyllis Harriman Gallery (2020, 2022); CADAF Online Art Fair (2020); Gallery122, New York (2018); Curate NY (2013); and Photos, Femmes, Féminisme at Paris Photo (2010). Her work is held in public and private collections, including portraits of women writers at the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the Bibliothèque Marguerite Durand in Paris. In 2022, her photograph Double Helix was featured in Sotheby’s Contemporary Discoveries preview exhibition in New York. Recent commissions include twenty pigment prints from her Roman God(dess) series for the Orient Express Hotel in Rome (2025). Her work Union, from the Butterfly Series, was selected for Butterfly: Exploring the World of Lepidoptera (Phaidon, 2025), and in 2026 three works from the series were released as curated digital editions on Sedition. Fineberg began her career in Paris in the 1980s as an editorial photographer and freelance writer. Her photographs have appeared in international publications including Le Monde, Paris Match, Ms., Jeune Afrique, among others. She is also the author of City Riders: A Story of Riding and Friendship (Howell/Macmillan, 1997).
