Emily Sundblad (born 1977) is an American-based, Swedish-born painter, gallerist, and musician. She co-founded and co-directs Reena Spaulings Fine Art.

Background and education

Sundblad was born in Dalsjöfors, Sweden in 1977. She received her BFA from Parsons the New School for Design in New York in 2003, before attending the Whitney Museum's Independent Study Program, which she completed in the spring of 2006.[1][2]

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.[3] Subsequently, Reena Spaulings began exhibiting work of her own.[4] Spaulings is portrayed in person by other artists, including co-director John Kelsey, and others from the Bernadette Corporation collective.[5]

Spaulings, as an artist, was included in the Whitney Museum's 2006 Biennial[6] and also took part in the group exhibition "Pop Life" at the Tate Modern.[7][8]

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.[9][10]

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).[11]
