Stephanie Temma Hier: Swan Song

January 14 - February 21, 2026
Overview


Anton Kern Gallery is pleased to announce Swan Song, Stephanie Temma Hier's first exhibition at Anton Kern Gallery, taking place from January 14 through February 21 on the gallery's third floor.

Stephanie Temma Hier is a Canadian artist based in New York whose work merges oil painting and ceramic sculpture through unconventional, often elaborate framing. Her meticulously rendered paintings—drawn from vintage advertisements, stock photography, and personal snapshots—are set within hand-built ceramic frames that echo, disrupt, or complicate the imagery they contain. By blurring the boundaries between painting and sculpture, Hier constructs strange and often humorous worlds that probe themes of consumption, memory, and decay.
