Sinnapah Mary’s The Book of Violette: Marie-Anne(2025) is on display at James Cohan’s stand and sold to a US-based foundation. "It’s particularly meaningful, because she is from Guadeloupe, which is an overseas territory of France," says Paula Naughton, a senior director at the gallery. The award is given annually by France’s gallery association to an artist either from or working in the country.Image: Kelly Sinnapah Mary, The Book of Violette: New Species, 2025.
