About the Item

Bill Costa Untitled (Rollerena Fairy Godmother) n.d./2022 Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity Chromogenic print (Edition of 5 + 2 APs) 10 x 8 inches (25.4 x 20.32 cm), sheet 9.25 x 6.5 inches (23.5 x 15.875 cm), image From The Center (New York City’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center): “Rollerena Fairy Godmother came into being on the evening of Saturday, September 16, 1972 by a young man from Kentucky who put on a gown, a 1950s hat, and a straw basket and skated up and down Christopher Street in Greenwich Village, New York City. Over time, Rollerena added to her outfit: rhinestone glasses, costume jewelry, a small horn, and a magic wand to bless mortals became regular accessories to her character. She skated in gay neighborhoods, the Easter Parade, Gay Pride marches, and in popular discos. “The creator of Rollerena did not consider himself a drag queen; instead she became the character of a Fairy Godmother.” This work is offered by CLAMP in New York City.

  • Khamsa III (Moria)
    By Aubrey Roemer
    Located in New York, NY
    Khamsa III (Moria), 2016 Digital c print 14" x 11 inches Edition of 50 Set of 3 available for $1250 This image is of a (k)hamsa made with life jacket swatches and emergency blankets from the island of Lesvos, created by tracing the hand of a refugee child and drawing their eyes inside of it. It is installed in the barbed wire near the port of Mytilini. The human condition is the driving motivation behind my work, it’s triumphs, failures, and banality are inexhaustible source material. Using community as a platform for creation, the work is a collaboration with the subjects - as models, fixers, craftsmen, historians, designers - the people who are being described are those who guide the visual narrative. Together, we make work. Aubrey Roemer was born in Rochester, NY. She received her BFA from Pratt Institute and post collegiately attended residencies in the USA, Europe, and Asia, as well as exhibited in galleries and museums both nationally and internationally. She worked as a journalist for Art Observed, specializing in covering the NYC auction season. Roemer has received grants from World Connect and ARTwerk for her work. She has received national and international press for her work, while actively speaking about the role of art and activism, notably with Artshape Mammoth, the Tällberg Foundation, and at the Parrish Museum of Art. Recently, she was a resident at Vermont Studio Center, at 42 Acres in England, and in Taiwan at Kio-a-Thau Sugar Refinery Artist Village. Roemer is working on projects in Nicaragua with La Isla Foundation addressing the CKDnT epidemic among sugarcane workers...
