Karl Haendel | Guggenheim Fellowship 2026

The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation’s 101st Class of Fellows Taps 223 Trailblazing Artists, Scientists, and Scholars Across 55 Fields. Among them is LA-based visual artist Karl Haendel, known for his thought-provoking hyperrealistic drawings. Haendel delves into themes of culture, politics and identity. His large-scale, detailed graphite works often incorporate imagery from a variety of historical and personal sources, inviting viewers to reevaluate the context and significance of well-known images, stimulating reflection on societal norms and power dynamics.
