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

[edit]

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]
