Career

Reena Spaulings

Reena Spaulings is both the pen name of an artist collective, and a gallery in New York City. In 2003, Sundblad and John Kelsey co-founded the gallery Reena Spaulings Fine Art. Subsequently, Reena Spaulings began exhibiting work of her own. Spaulings is portrayed in person by other artists, including co-director John Kelsey, and others from the Bernadette Corporation collective.

Spaulings, as an artist, was included in the Whitney Museum's 2006 Biennial and also took part in the group exhibition "Pop Life" at the Tate Modern.

Work under her own name

Sundblad, as herself, has also exhibited her paintings internationally and performed at a variety of venues including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Her work is part of public collections such as the Whitney Museum of Art, New York; among others.

In 2011, Sundblad had her second solo show, ¡Qué Bárbara!, both an exhibition of paintings, and inaugural and closing performances at the Algus Greenspon Gallery in New York. This show also brought about Sundblad's auction debut as she sold the self-portrait she used as her exhibit announcement at Philips de Pury, which sold for $37,500 (with the auction house premium).
